UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

An ultra-competitive handicap and it might be worth siding with Andrew Balding's STONE OF DESTINY to end his long losing run. The seven-year-old son of Acclamation hasn't found winning easy in recent times, but, dropped in grade and off a career-low mark, he looks the one to be with. Intervention goes for the hat-trick and, although a 5lb penalty makes life tougher, he's respected, while The Green Man is a consistent performer who should also be considered.
Prediction : 1st Stone Of Destiny 2nd Intervention 3rd The Green Man

INDIAN DREAM went close when second in a hot race at York last time and, with Ryan Moore on board for the first time, he's fancied to go very close despite a 5lb rise in the weights. Modern Dancer is likely to be his biggest danger on his nursery debut, with an opening mark of 85 looking more than workable, while Finn's Charm will find this easier than his recent assignments in Listed company.
Prediction : 1st Indian Dream 2nd Modern Dancer 3rd Finns Charm

A tricky puzzle to try and solve here, but the lightly-raced SANDY PARADISE is still seemingly improving for Richard Hannon and he's fancied to register his first win on turf. Temper Trap has four wins from his last five starts, so Tim Easterby's five-year-old is greatly respected once again, but the one to chase the selection home might be Shine On Brendan, following his narrow win at Hamilton last time.
Prediction : 1st Sandy Paradise 2nd Shine On Brendan 3rd Temper Trap

A chance can be taken on the progressive ADAAY IN ASIA in this competitive affair. The three-year-old hasn't looked back since beginning her winning sequence in July and she won in the style of a filly with plenty more to give at York's Ebor meeting. In regards to form at this level, Novemba arguably sets the standard following respectable efforts at Ascot the last twice, while Umm Kulthum won at this level as a juvenile. Heredia hasn't pushed on since her Sandringham success but cannot be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Adaay In Asia 2nd Novemba 3rd Umm Kulthum

Preference is for MANACCAN, who should be much more at home returned to this distance having been worn down late on over further at Newmarket. The booking of Ryan Moore is another plus and he can uphold form with King Of Stars, who has been unlucky not to get his head in front this season and gave a bold sight for a long way in the Beverley Bullet. The filly Union Court is an intriguing runner, having finished runner-up the last twice, while 2019 winner Equilateral can also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Manaccan 2nd King Of Stars 3rd Union Court

Runner-up on his last two starts, a step up in trip could see X J RASCAL bounce back to winning form. George Boughey's charge kept on well to just be denied by a head on his most recent run, and he was narrowly outdone at Goodwood on his nursery debut the time before. Both runs came over 7f and there could be more in the locker over a mile. A first-time tongue-tie may help Grand Central sneak further into contention, while Maximilian Caesar completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st X J Rascal 2nd Grand Central 3rd Maximilian Caesar

The Roger Varian-trained Legend Of Dubai was not disgraced in a competitive handicap on his latest outing at Goodwood. He has been gelded since, but is still 9lb above his last winning mark. Therefore, preference is for MUJTABA, who remains unexposed and seemed to appreciate a stiffer stamina test on his most recent run. Just Fine is another who would be dangerous to dismiss.
Prediction : 1st Mujtaba 2nd Legend Of Dubai 3rd Just Fine
