UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

WHISPERING ROYAL didn't allow inexperience to get the better of him when he made a winning start to his career at Dundalk back in November and having swapped hands for 75,000gns shortly after, this represents a good opportunity for him to enhance his profile on debut for Alan King. His pedigree suggests the additional yardage is within his compass and another big run is expected. Ala Kaifi rates as the chief danger, although Timely Escape can improve now tried in a hood.
Prediction : 1st Whispering Royal 2nd Ala Kaifi 3rd Timely Escape

BEAUTY CHOICE is back on a winning mark and may be worth chancing in a wide-open sprint handicap. The drop back in distance is ideal for the six-year-old and it would come as no surprise to see an improved effort now a visor is tried. Okeanos, who is unexposed at the trip, is also taken seriously given he is officially 2lb well-in. Brazen Idol, Asadjumeirah and Barney's Bay warrant betting checks too.
Prediction : 1st Beauty Choice 2nd Okeanos 3rd Brazen Idol

Bigbertiebassett and Secret Beach showed promise on debut and are high on the list of those to monitor in the betting, while Dash Power was clueless on his racecourse bow but has a likeable enough pedigree to suggest he can get better in time. However, the one who appeals most for an immediate impact is the Godolphin-owned STORMY WAVES, who cost 525,000gns as a yearling and has to be of interest for a high-profile yard that has taken a very patient approach with youngsters this season.
Prediction : 1st Stormy Waves 2nd Bigbertiebassett 3rd Secret Beach

PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE recorded a first career success when upped to this sort of distance at Redcar and an 8lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent the son of Sea The Stars from going in again. Campaign Trail offered plenty to work on with his second-placed finish at Salisbury in May and is feared most with that reappearance under his belt. Last-time-out Leicester winner Double Oban reverts to handicap company and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Pledgeofallegiance 2nd Campaign Trail 3rd Double Oban

JACK DANIEL found positive tactics to his liking when triumphing on his return to action at Thirsk in May and a similar approach may be good enough once more, with a 4lb rise looking more than fair. Absolute Dream posted his best performance of the season with a third at the same venue and isn't taken lightly off the same mark. The in-form Bird Of Play also enters calculations if seeing out the trip.
Prediction : 1st Jack Daniel 2nd Absolute Dream 3rd Bird Of Play

HOSTELRY has been in excellent form this season and a third career win could be on the way over a distance and track that should suit. Ruth Carr's mare remains on a workable mark and she is preferred to Hamilton third Strangerontheshore and Lady Wormsley, who has the services of Oisin Murphy to call upon this time around. Labiqa and Paco's Pride are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Hostelry 2nd Lady Wormsley 3rd Strangerontheshore

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD is turned out again quickly after a comfortable success at Beverley on Tuesday and he escapes a penalty so is backed to go in again. The step up in trip looks like another plus and he should have too much for the consistent Trabajo Detecho and Awtaar, who ran a highly encouraging race on her handicap debut at Doncaster. Others to note include Bryce, Mine That Ship and Slingsbytoo.
Prediction : 1st Rwenearlytheredad 2nd Awtaar 3rd Trabajo Detecho
