UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

PARK HILL DANCER was too keen when failing to see out an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month. The six-year-old lost little in defeat on his penultimate start, when second to Chianti Classico at Market Rasen, and he may bounce back to form down in distance. Gentle Frank is feared most after his C&D third in January, ahead of stable-debutant Champagne Town, who made an encouraging start to his hurdling career when third at Limerick last season.
Prediction : 1st Park Hill Dancer 2nd Gentle Frank 3rd Champagne Town

Pay The Piper capitalised on a falling mark when winning at Musselburgh last month and the eight-year-old is not taken lightly off 6lb higher. However, preference is for CALICO, who was last seen giving the classy Jonbon a fright in the Grade 2 Kingmaker Novices' Chase at Warwick and a 1lb nudge in the ratings may underestimate his ability. C&D winner Xcitations has been in good form and makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Calico 2nd Pay The Piper 3rd Xcitations

SERGEANT WILSON proved a different proposition when making all to land his first success over hurdles at Fakenham and the five-year-old merits respect now returned to handicaps. Whizz Kid should find this less competitive than his recent appearance at Ascot and is dangerous to discount. Mr Freedom arrives here on the back of a fourth success over the smaller obstacles and he should remain competitive off only 3lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Sergeant Wilson 2nd Whizz Kid 3rd Mr Freedom

Aubis Walk caught the eye when bolting up in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield over 2m4f on her latest outing and she remains of interest upped in grade and distance here. However, APPLE AWAY has been progressive recently and secured an emphatic success over an extended 3m at Ayr last month, so she narrowly shades the vote from Nicky Richards' inmate. She's A Saint steps up in trip following a decent second in a Grade 2 contest at Sandown and can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Apple Away 2nd Aubis Walk 3rd Shes A Saint

First-time cheekpieces seemed to do the trick for COOPER'S CROSS last time out, when landing the Sky Bet Chase at this track over 3m in January. He retains the headgear and can put in another bold showing now 5lb higher. Castle Robin took a big step forward when securing a win over 3m at Sandown last month and is feared most ahead of Does He Know, who has to shoulder top-weight.
Prediction : 1st Coopers Cross 2nd Castle Robin 3rd Does He Know

SWEET WILL was going well when unseating at the third last in a chase at Navan three weeks ago and Gavin Cromwell's Irish raider is fancied to make a positive return to timber now. Last-time-out Ffos Las scorer Bumpy Johnson remains open to further progress in this sphere and could be the one for the forecast. Hunters Call and The Newest One are also respected.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Will 2nd Bumpy Johnson 3rd The Newest One

Prairie Wolf bolted up last time at Catterick and has been raised 9lb subsequently, which may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. However, the vote goes to GALAHAD THREEPWOOD, who had plenty of running left in him when unseating three out last time over C&D. The son of Nathaniel can make amends off the same mark. Give Me A Cuddle shouldn't be underestimated, as he is only 5lb higher than his C&D win two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Galahad Threepwood 2nd Prairie Wolf 3rd Give Me A Cuddle

The most interesting newcomer looks to be the Alan King-trained Broomhill Road, who has conditional Alexander Thorne on board claiming 5lb to help his chances. That said, the vote goes to WILLMOUNT, who won takingly on his debut under Rules over C&D last time and he could prove very difficult to beat. Quick Of The Night will need to find significant improvement to get involved but is best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Willmount 2nd Broomhill Road 3rd Quick Of The Night
