UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

Circe shaped with promise to finish third on her racecourse bow at Sandown at the beginning of the month and is expected to have benefited from that experience. That said, she faces a whole host of interesting newcomers, with the vote going to STIFLING. A full-sister to Holloway Boy, who landed the Chesham on his first start, she makes plenty of appeal for top connections. Similar comments apply to Morning Light, Shakeela and Lasting Love in a contest that is likely to throw up plenty of winners in the future.
Prediction : 1st Stifling 2nd Circe 3rd Morning Light

WAR ROOMS made a bright start to his career in a C&D novice in July on soft ground and, with conditions likely to be similar on this occasion, Owen Burrows' colt gets the vote to handle a step up in class. Local Hero caught the eye with a taking display at Kempton on debut and would be an obvious threat if able to cope with the ground. If that isn't the case, perhaps the main danger could be Dancing Gemini, who got off the mark at Newbury and appeals as the type to improve with racing.
Prediction : 1st War Rooms 2nd Dancing Gemini 3rd Local Hero

BIG EVS found life much tougher against older rivals in the Nunthorpe at York last month, but Mick Appleby's colt, who had shown a hugely likeable attitude when winning at both Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, is taken to bounce back on this occasion. The drop back to 5f is likely to benefit Kylian, who had finished third to the selection in the Molecomb prior to not appearing to get home in the Gimcrack. Inquisitively and Flora Of Bermuda complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Big Evs 2nd Kylian 3rd Inquisitively

COLTRANE regained the winning thread in the Lonsdale Cup at York in August and the six-year-old is fancied to defy a 3lb penalty and complete a double here. The two-time Group 1 winner Trueshan hasn't looked at his best in two appearances this season, but a subsequent wind procedure may bring about an improved bid from the popular gelding. The progressive Sweet William was narrowly denied in the Ebor last time and should have more to come.
Prediction : 1st Coltrane 2nd Trueshan 3rd Sweet William

BAGUE D'OR lost little in defeat when a fine second on his stable debut in a competitive handicap at York last month and James Ferguson's charge may have enough improvement in him to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings. The Goat receives a handy 10lb weight-for-age allowance as the only three-year-old in this contest, which makes the son of Cracksman dangerous. He could emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Real Dream, who was too bad to be true in the Ebor last time out.
Prediction : 1st Bague Dor 2nd The Goat 3rd Real Dream

There's The Door recorded a second success of the season when digging deep to get up in the closing stages at Goodwood last month. However, David Evans' filly does have a career-high mark to overcome now that she is 4lb higher and she might be worth taking on with the unexposed CHERRY. The daughter of Dubawi recently shed her maiden tag in taking fashion at the West Sussex venue and her current mark looks workable. Fellow last-time-out winners Reina Del Mar and Queen Emma also enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Cherry 2nd Theres The Door 3rd Reina Del Mar

BARADAR arrives here only 4lb higher in the ratings than when winning the International at Ascot in July and George Boughey's five-year-old is hard to oppose as a result. Lethal Levi has been running well enough in defeat of late and it would be no surprise to see him make the frame off his current mark. The Green Man is another who is likely to be in the mix, while Persuasion and Gweedore complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Baradar 2nd Lethal Levi 3rd The Green Man

DAPPERLING struggled in two valuable events last month but it would be no surprise to see the Dandy Man filly bounce back here, given that she chased home Relief Rally in the Super Sprint in July. Kingswood Flyer is an obvious threat following his success a Newbury a month ago, although a 4lb rise is a slight concern. Succession edges out Boardroom and Red Zone Hero to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Dapperling 2nd Kingswood Flyer 3rd Succession
