UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

KADO DE JOIE had excuses when placed third in a French bumper over 1m4f and he looks the one to beat. The 105,000-euro purchase is an interesting recruit for the Nicky Henderson yard and any amount of improvement can be expected after that first taste of competitive action. Whispering Royal made the frame on his jumping bow at Wincanton and that race is working out well, with the winner following up in Listed company. Ruler Of The River is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Kado De Joie 2nd Whispering Royal 3rd Ruler Of The River

GARDE DES CHAMPS was found to have bled after his third at Wetherby and with the benefit of a short break behind him, he could be the one to beat. Lucinda Russell's charge wasn't given too hard a time and, off the same mark, he can finish a lot closer. Onemorefortheroad is now 11lb below his last winning mark, which came more than two years ago, but he is on too tempting a rating to ignore on his fencing bow. Coastguard Station goes well at this track and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Garde Des Champs 2nd Onemorefortheroad 3rd Coastguard Station

Aazza is the only C&D winner here after scoring in January, but that was off a mark of 90 and she is 13lb higher now. She could make the frame, but preference is for JERSEY LADY. Harry Derham's seven-year-old won over further on her final three starts of her last campaign and hasn't been disgraced at Exeter and Market Rasen this time in, suggesting her next victory is not too far away. Ludlow third Minniemum may also get involved, with the step up in trip expected to prompt improvement.
Prediction : 1st Jersey Lady 2nd Minniemum 3rd Aazza

Pentland Hills may not be the force of old but the 2019 Triumph Hurdle hero has gone well fresh before and could make an impact , despite top weight. However, the 11-year-old GLINGER FLAME is proving that age is just a number, with wins at Kelso and Ayr on his last two starts, and he may yet land his hat-trick off just 4lb higher. Aquila Sky returns after over two years off, but won from 4lb higher in April 2021 and has to be of some interest.
Prediction : 1st Glinger Flame 2nd Pentland Hills 3rd Aquila Sky

Harry Fry sends DEEPER BLUE north for his third start over fences, with Lorcan Murtagh back in the saddle. The seven-year-old returned from a year off with an excellent one-length second at Plumpton and if he comes on from that, he could be the one they all have to beat. Mister Who is another to consider after his Lingfield second off 2lb lower last month and he may try to make every post a winning one. Findthetime and Cerendipity as others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Deeper Blue 2nd Mister Who 3rd Findthetime

CLEAR WHITE LIGHT might be 6lb worse off with former Betfair Hurdle winner Soaring Glory having defeated him over C&D a fortnight ago, but Adrian Keatley's charge can only improve for that seasonal reappearance and he gets the vote from a handy racing weight. Ben Bromley's claim negates the 4lb rise Gin Coco received for his recent Ascot triumph and is more than capable of mounting another stern challenge, while Matchless and Tommy's Oscar are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Clear White Light 2nd Soaring Glory 3rd Gin Coco

Mister Coffey boasts a consistent profile over the larger obstacles and he is likely to prove popular once again, but a chance can be taken on FORWARD PLAN. Anthony Honeyball's charge was thumped by the reopposing Sail Away when the pair met at Ayr in April, but he is now far better off at the weights and encouragement can be drawn from his recent spin in the Badger Beer at Wincanton. Whistleinthedark is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Forward Plan 2nd Mister Coffey 3rd Sail Away
