UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

Following a comfortable success over this distance at Bath earlier this month, BEAU ROC is fancied to secure a double, albeit off a 5lb raised mark. She has been fairly consistent of late and can be forgiven following a disappointing spin over 6f at Newmarket on her penultimate outing. Miss Belladonna filled the runner-up spot at Yarmouth last month and is feared most off the same mark, while Mrs Trump completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Beau Roc 2nd Miss Belladonna 3rd Mrs Trump

In a field dominated by unraced candidates, the vote goes to SNAFIYA, who has shown promise on all three career starts. She lost little in defeat behind subsequent Albany fifth Pretty Crystal at Ripon on her most recent outing and, with more progression likely, can get the better of the unraced Glitterella, who is related to a few smart types. Fellow newcomer Queen's Guard is another not to be taken lightly either.
Prediction : 1st Snafiya 2nd Glitterella 3rd Queens Guard

Straight A has to shoulder a 6lb penalty following a two-length success at Yarmouth last month and he could struggle with that in mind, so GOLDEN BUNGLE gets the vote. A comfortable winner over this distance at Leicester last month, she receives both a fillies' and a Band D allowance and could have more to offer upped in class. Others of interest include Nellie Leylax and Chiefman.
Prediction : 1st Golden Bungle 2nd Straight A 3rd Nellie Leylax

Plenty of connections will be arriving here thinking their runners have a good chance of taking this prize, perhaps none more so than those affiliated with HICKORY. James Fanshawe's charge was just beaten three-quarters of a length when running well in second over 7f at Redcar last time and, off the same mark today, he appears primed for another bold bid. Atrium seems to be the biggest danger now back in these calmer waters after running in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot on his latest outing, while Game Set should also be respected on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Hickory 2nd Atrium 3rd Game Set

A lot of in-form rivals line-up for this deep contest and plenty are in with a chance, but the nod goes to POWERFUL RESPONSE. Edward Bethell's charge arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Newcastle and Hamilton and the most recent of those successes was more comfortably than the winning distance of three-quarters of a length suggests. The three-year-old will have to defy another 4lb rise in the ratings but he appears to be on an upward trajectory and he could take the beating. Back From Dubai looks to be the biggest danger after a cosy success at Beverley, while Kodebreaker heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Powerful Response 2nd Back From Dubai 3rd Kodebreaker

OWNERS DREAM has been running consistently well of late and this looks like a nice opportunity to get his head in front. David O'Meara's runner shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running with credit in third over 1m2f at Haydock earlier this month and, dropped 1lb by the handicapper for that two-length defeat, he could be on a dangerous mark. Last-time-out winner Baileys Khelstar should also be thereabouts but he'll have to defy a 4lb hike in the ratings, while Graham is not without a chance.
Prediction : 1st Owners Dream 2nd Baileys Khelstar 3rd Graham
