UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

KLIMOVA made a promising switch to handicap company when second behind a subsequent dual winner at Wolverhampton in November. She is fancied to make a successful stable debut for Kevin Philippart De Foy, although Totnes could pose a big threat on her return to turf following a disappointing run on Tapeta earlier this month. Kittykarma makes her reappearance following a fair fourth at Pontefract in the autumn and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Klimova 2nd Totnes 3rd Kittykarma

There has been no stopping RHYTHM of late and Ruth Carr's five-year-old made a pleasing return to action when successful by half a length at Newcastle earlier this month. She is fancied to transfer that form to this surface, even though she is rated 8lb above her last winning turf mark. Recent course winner Little Muddy remains of interest stepping up from 5f, while the class-dropping Emeralds Pride adds further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Rhythm 2nd Little Muddy 3rd Emeralds Pride

This could go the way of 150,000-euro yearling purchase SIOUX WARRIOR, who boasts an appealing pedigree and is a half-brother to classy sprinter Royal Aclaim. He can get off the mark at the first time of asking, but Novation's dam was Group-placed during her career and the son of Havana Grey can give the selection plenty to think about. Lingo Lady also warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Sioux Warrior 2nd Novation 3rd Lingo Lady

Patiently ridden at Newbury last week, Bernardo O'Reilly kept on well off a strong pace to land the spoils. That might not be the case here, however, and though he merits respect, CELSIUS edges the vote. Tom Clover's gelding has an excellent record when fresh and, judged on past exploits, his current mark ought to be well within range. Sterling Knight arrives in search of a hat-trick having notched up a brace of Haydock victories at the end of last season, while Rathbone can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Celsius 2nd Bernardo OReilly 3rd Sterling Knight

LUNAR JET broke a drought when scoring at Redcar recently, and a subsequent 3lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Recent Southwell scorer Down To The Kid might not be far away on this switch to turf, along with Divine Comedy, who was in winning form when beating Eye Knee at Redcar when last seen. Iconique is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Lunar Jet 2nd Down To The Kid 3rd Divine Comedy

Dancing Gypsy has a 9lb pull in the weights with Timewave for defeat of less than a length at Kempton in January, and is fancied to reverse that form. However, preference is still for ANOTHER RUN, who can be forgiven his latest effort at Leicester due to the heavy ground. With conditions likely to be much more in his favour, and if able to perform to the level of his penultimate run when second behind Maasai Mara at Kempton, he could go very close on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Another Run 2nd Dancing Gypsy 3rd Timewave

HIGHFIELD VIKING looks a fascinating contender on his handicap debut. He is a half-brother to the stable's multiple Group 1 winner Highfield Princess, and has been gelded since last seen. His bare form is nothing to write home about, but he steps down to a sprinting distance for the first time. His stablemate We'renotreallyhere struck at Catterick earlier in the month and is respected after being put up 3lb, while Storm Fox and Trabajo Detecho are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Highfield Viking 2nd Werenotreallyhere 3rd Storm Fox
