UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

An intriguing Brocklesby to kick off the Lincoln meeting with several interesting juveniles lining up, but marginal preference lies with the Karl Burke-trained INDICATION CALL. His dam is a half-sister to Toocoolforschool, who landed the Mill Reef for this stable, and the son of first-season sire Soldier's Call could well make a pleasing start to his racing career. Valadero cost 250,000 euros as a yearling so must be feared, while Loaded Gun is just one other to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Indication Call 2nd Valadero 3rd Loaded Gun

Arthur's Realm arrives following a fair showing at Newcastle on his return to action and he must enter calculations, despite competing off a figure 9lb higher than when winning this last year. However, BALTIMORE BOY remains unexposed and has every chance of building on a creditable second from his latest outing in a 0-90 classified event at Ascot in September. There should be a lot more to come from Michael Bell's four-year-old this season. Tropez Power and The Gatekeeper can also have a big say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Baltimore Boy 2nd Arthurs Realm 3rd Tropez Power

Even though EL CABALLO failed to get involved when sent off joint-favourite for the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, he is still a sprinter of immense potential and will be hard to beat on his first appearance since. He has run well fresh in the past and the way in which he won the Sandy Lane at Haydock on his penultimate outing is evidence of his quality. Asjad was only denied by a short head over C&D on his final start of 2022 and can make his mark outside of handicap company this season. Dual Stewards' Cup hero Commanche Falls completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st El Caballo 2nd Asjad 3rd Commanche Falls

AWAAL is the least exposed member of this year's Lincoln line-up and ran out an impressive winner at Redcar back in October. The Crisfords saddled the second in this prestigious handicap last term and they can go one better with the promising son of Lope De Vega, who won't mind the ground and has the services of James Doyle to call upon. A winner over C&D last September, Atrium must be a key player, along with Wanees, who was lightly raced last season but scored in two of his four starts. Al Mubhir and Montassib give William Haggas a strong hand, while Baradar and Bopedro can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Awaal 2nd Wanees 3rd Atrium

A winner in Group 3 company twice last season, TEMPUS sets the standard on the back of respectable efforts at Doha and Lingfield. Archie Watson's charge is 5lb clear of his closest rival on ratings and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark for the campaign. Irish 2,000 Guineas third Imperial Fighter has not been seen in action since struggling in the Prix du Jockey Club, but remains one with potential as a four-year-old. The unbeaten Poker Face is another to note, along with Brunch, who has run well here before.
Prediction : 1st Tempus 2nd Imperial Fighter 3rd Poker Face

This can go the way of ROOST, who shaped with plenty of promise on both starts last season and should be well suited by going up in trip. The son of Sea The Moon may have too much for Ribal, who ran with plenty of credit at Newmarket when last in action. Astrodome is a Sea The Stars colt out of impeccably-bred Musidora winner So Mi Dar and is one of two really interesting newcomers for the Gosdens, with the other being Carlton, a 350,000-euro son of Frankel.
Prediction : 1st Roost 2nd Ribal 3rd Astrodome

MRS MEADER ended last year by making it three victories from her last four starts with a career-best performance at Newbury in October. The drop back from 1m4f isn't likely to be an inconvenience and she is taken to handle a 5lb rise from the handicapper. Glory And Honour sports a first-time visor and is respected following a recent spin over hurdles at this track, while Aldbourne could have further progress to come, having struggled under a penalty here when last seen.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Meader 2nd Glory And Honour 3rd Aldbourne

HIGHLIGHTER is open to a fair amount of improvement on his handicap debut and stepping back up in distance, with the booking of Billy Loughnane enhancing his claims further. Kalahari Prince can be forgiven his final effort last season as it came over a distance too far at Southwell. He is better judged on his Redcar success the time before and is capable of a decent showing. Others to note include Simulation Theory and Aone Ally.
Prediction : 1st Highlighter 2nd Kalahari Prince 3rd Simulation Theory
