UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

Four-year-olds have dominated this race in recent years taking the last three renewals, and if YORKINDNESS can adapt to the shorter trip after her second at Ripon, she may continue that run. Divine Comedy ran on well when third on her return over C&D last month and any improvement would make her a player, while Great Colaci intrigues. A winner off 2lb higher in September 2021, he is entitled to improve for his only start since when sixth at Musselburgh.
Prediction : 1st Yorkindness 2nd Divine Comedy 3rd Great Colaci

Sankari is the only previous winner in this field after he scored by a neck at Thirsk, but he has to give 7lb or more to all of his rivals, including runner-up Unowho, who is weighted to gain his revenge. Both could get involved in the finish, but if HOORAY FOR HAZEL steps up on her debut third, she might have the edge. Slowly away and showing signs of inexperience at Beverley before running on, she could be a different proposition now.
Prediction : 1st Hooray For Hazel 2nd Unowho 3rd Sankari

MCCAULEY'S TAVERN is becoming frustrating after five places from his 10 starts, but if jockey Joe Fanning can keep him on or near the early pace from a decent high draw, then this may be his best chance yet to get off the mark. Almaty Star is the obvious danger after running on to be beaten a neck by the odds-on favourite at Kempton, but he needs to repeat that back on the grass, with Surrey Noir and Dark Kestrel others to note.
Prediction : 1st McCauleys Tavern 2nd Almaty Star 3rd Surrey Noir

Pennymoor won a Listed race on the all-weather on her most recent start and has to be respected, but her previous form on turf is not very strong and that is a worry. With that in mind, preference is for GOOD MORALS, who got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month and she remains open to improvement on her handicap bow. Aiming High is another with strong form claims on her return to turf.
Prediction : 1st Good Morals 2nd Aiming High 3rd Pennymoor

LITTLE MUDDY has won two of her three starts so far this season and a 5lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop her here. Libra Tiger hit the crossbar off a 1lb lower mark at Haydock last time and could be in the mix once again, while Streak Lightning and Live In The Moment are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Little Muddy 2nd Libra Tiger 3rd Streak Lightning

The step up to 7f appears to have done the trick with HARRY MAGNUS, who has now won his last two starts with a comfortable success at Newmarket last month being the most recent. The son of Harry Angel has been raised 4lb for that effort but there could be plenty more to come and he's pacey enough to cope with the drop to 6f. Open Market has gone close a few times already since moving to Karl Burke last year and is noted, while Hover On The Wind showed ability on all three starts last season and any market support for him would be noteworthy ahead of his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Harry Magnus 2nd Open Market 3rd Hover On The Wind

The hat-trick seeking GOLDEN MAVERICK seems the obvious place to start having relished the step to a mile last month when scoring at Wetherby, before another win more recently at Southwell. There doesn't appear to be any negatives about him with ground and trip to suit, and he may still be ahead of his current mark. My Roxanne was the horse who took advantage of Pat Cosgrave's poorly-judged ride aboard Concorde at Chelmsford two runs ago, and she isn't one to dismiss lightly. Ticket To Alaska is stepping up in trip and looks to have solid place claims.
Prediction : 1st Golden Maverick 2nd Ticket To Alaska 3rd My Roxanne
