UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

A trappy affair to get proceedings underway on Town Moor, so only a tentative vote goes to ORBITAL CHIME. James Horton's charge made light work of testing conditions when winning at Redcar last month and, though an 8lb rise in the weights will make life tougher, there could be more to come. Danger Alert must be of interest ahead of his handicap debut along with Georgiava, who finished a good fourth in a competitive event at Newmarket on her latest outing.
Prediction : 1st Orbital Chime 2nd Danger Alert 3rd Georgiava

Some smart types have won this over the years, and William Haggas might be set to unleash another one in the form of NINE TENTHS. A 300,000gns purchase, the daughter of Kodiac makes plenty of appeal on paper and she ought to be more than capable of a bold bid on her debut. Ferrous finished on the coattails of two subsequent winners when hitting the frame at Windsor last month and must be feared. Uncle rates best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Nine Tenths 2nd Ferrous 3rd Uncle

ART POWER has often made his presence felt at the highest level, most recently when securing a midfield finish in the Champions Sprint at Ascot. Tim Easterby's entire landed the Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh on his penultimate outing and he ought to take all of the beating down in class. Summerghand (second) and Commanche Falls (third) are entitled to be in the shake-up following their runs in the Bengough Stakes last month, while Rhythm Master, who found just one too strong in Listed company last time out, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Art Power 2nd Summerghand 3rd Commanche Falls

Despite being off the track for 12 months, SWEET BELIEVER has picked up right where she left off on her last two starts, finishing a close second on both occasions, and William Haggas' filly is fancied to return to winning ways. Life Of Dreams has been running well in better company than this lately, so she is the biggest danger if resuming her progress. Although Darmoiselle hasn't shown the same level of form as some of her rivals, she is open to improvement.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Believer 2nd Life Of Dreams 3rd Darmoiselle

ROMAN SPRING took a step forward when finishing second at Windsor last time and he's fancied to build on that effort and go one better. Talha made a pleasing start when second in a small field at Pontefract in August, so, with that under his belt, he looks capable of getting involved. The William Haggas team have been in excellent form all year, so Molaqab is another to note on his racecourse debut.
Prediction : 1st Roman Spring 2nd Talha 3rd Molaqab

Biggles is sure to be popular here in pursuit of the hat-trick following a comfortable victory at Newbury last time, but preference is for the other hat-trick seeker YANIFER. Harriet Bethell's four-year-old has struck up a great relationship with Oisin McSweeney recently and, although a 6lb rise for his latest win clearly demands more, he looks the type to keep on improving. Master Zoffany was slightly disappointing when well backed here last time but, dropped a further 2lb, he could go well.
Prediction : 1st Yanifer 2nd Biggles 3rd Master Zoffany

It can pay to side with the relatively unexposed FIRST OFFICER, who has done well since joining the Jane Chapple-Hyam stable. Narrowly denied here on his latest start, the step back up in trip can see the three-year-old land this valuable pot with David Egan taking over in the saddle. Impressive C&D winner Israr is a leading player, along with Metier and Tritonic, who are more known for their hurdling exploits. Last year's winner Cemhaan completes the shortlist with Mr Alan and Nathanael Greene.
Prediction : 1st First Officer 2nd Israr 3rd Metier

BROKEN SPEAR (third) had Zip (fourth) and Cold Stare (fifth) narrowly behind when challenging on the wrong part of the track over C&D last month, and he must hold every chance of following up on last year's success in this race. There wasn't much between Alablaq (third) and Pocket The Profit (fourth) when they met at Newmarket recently and both are likely to be thereabouts again.
Prediction : 1st Broken Spear 2nd Cold Stare 3rd Alablaq
