UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

I'm On My Way found an opening mark of 79 to be within range when opening her account over 2m4f at Wincanton and a 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, she will need to settle better if she is to see out this distance, which is something that TOWNHILL should relish. Tom Lacey's charge found the drop in trip against him when third on his reappearance at Exeter and compensation could await here. Pipers Cross may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Townhill 2nd Im On My Way 3rd Pipers Cross

PERSONAL AMBITION likely found the testing conditions against him when a distant third in a Grade 2 at Sandown last month. Ben Pauling's inmate was quite taking prior to that disappointment when landing the spoils at Warwick and he can get back on the winning trail here. Inoui Machin receives 7lb from the selection and is feared most on his return to an extended 2m, although any market support for newcomer Skiffle Man would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Personal Ambition 2nd Inoui Machin 3rd Skiffle Man

CLASSIC KING found only subsequent Listed winner Queens Gamble too good at Kempton in November and the six-year-old is likely to take all the beating in this weaker event. Linda Moon is entitled to build on her sixth-placed hurdles bow at Wincanton on Boxing Day and she could give the selection most to think about. Even though Dino Bellagio failed to fire on his opening bid over timber at Bangor in October, it's too early to write this dual bumper winner off.
Prediction : 1st Classic King 2nd Linda Moon 3rd Dino Bellagio

With a win over this sort of trip at Newcastle on his penultimate start, followed by a respectable second-placed finished over 2m3f here last month, CRUZ CONTROL has shown stacks of promise since switching to chasing and looks worth siding with again. Now tried in a tongue strap, the seven-year-old has just a 2lb higher mark to contend with and may prove to be too progressive for the likes of Raffle Ticket and Getaway Luv, who appeal most of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Cruz Control 2nd Raffle Ticket 3rd Getaway Luv

Masked Dance posted a pleasing effort when second at Ludlow and as that was her first start since undergoing wind surgery, she should have more to give. Could Be Trouble is also open to progression and rates highly after a respectable third at Aintree on Boxing Day. However, preference is for KAY TARA TARA, who is still very low-mileage over hurdles and having won over this sort of trip on her jumping debut in October, she looks the pick of the bunch on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Kay Tara Tara 2nd Masked Dance 3rd Could Be Trouble

TOM CODY has been in terrific form since reverting to the larger obstacles and a further step up in trip can eke out further improvement as he looks to land the hat-trick, following easy successes at Newcastle and Wetherby last month. Rebecca Menzies' charge is preferred to Leicester scorer Val Dancer and Lyrical Genius, who was narrowly denied over this distance at Carlisle on his penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Tom Cody 2nd Lyrical Genius 3rd Val Dancer

This represents a drop in grade for DIAMOND DICE following a respectable effort in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November. The son of Diamond Boy sets the standard on form, with Hereford third French Symphony and newcomer The Happy Chapati, a half-brother to The New One, looking best placed to chase him home. Completing the shortlist are I Play County, Land Of Moon and Off The Jury.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Dice 2nd The Happy Chapati 3rd French Symphony
