UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

LEADER IN THE PARK failed to fire on his most recent outing at Ascot, but the six-year-old can be given another chance based on his debut effort under Rules when second at the same venue in November. Grand Albert was not disgraced on his first start over hurdles at Market Rasen last month and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Gentleman's Relish and Jukebox Fury.
Prediction : 1st Leader In The Park 2nd Grand Albert 3rd Gentlemans Relish

SNOWY EVENING has won two of his last three starts and a 6lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Fete Champetre also won on his most recent outing and could give the selection plenty to think about. Others who make the shortlist are Maninsane, Rath Gaul Hill and William Of York.
Prediction : 1st Snowy Evening 2nd Fete Champetre 3rd Maninsane

MOKA DE VASSY struggled in a valuable race at Lingfield last time but the six-year-old is only 1lb higher than when winning at Taunton prior to that. With that in mind, Jane Williams' gelding can be given another chance in this company. Johnson's Blue did not take to fences on his most recent outing and a better effort can be expected back over hurdles, while Blue Ridge Hill remains unexposed and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Moka De Vassy 2nd Johnsons Blue 3rd Blue Ridge Hill

It's difficult to ignore EVENT OF SIVOLA, who has won two of his last three starts and can expand on the sequence with the trip and ground both ideal. Furthermore, the selection is proven at this sort of level and remains competitively weighted despite going up 7lb for his latest success. Big Blue Moon jumped big and bold when winning over hurdles on his penultimate start and is a noteworthy contender now stepped up in trip on his chasing debut. Horacio Apple's is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Event Of Sivola 2nd Big Blue Moon 3rd Horacio Apples

Williethebuilder sets the standard based on his fourth-placed finish in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last October but he hasn't progressed much since and may be worth taking on, despite this representing another drop down in class. With that in mind, MISTER MOODLES could provide a bit of value in his bid to supplement his last-time-out C&D success. The form of that race was boosted by the runner-up winning his next start, while Lingfield winner Paradias is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mister Moodles 2nd Williethebuilder 3rd Paradias

USHUAIA DANCER was only headed after the last flight of hurdles when runner-up over 2m6f at Newcastle most recently and, despite a 2lb rise in the ratings, he looks to have a big chance cutting back in distance. Harrys Hope is steadily improving and warrants respect on her debut in handicap company, while Pilgrims King and Libor Lad are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Ushuaia Dancer 2nd Harrys Hope 3rd Pilgrims King

Tom Doniphon and Off To Alabama are already winners in this sphere and warrant respect, although conceding weight to some useful-looking rivals will be tough. The New Lion is certainly bred for the job, being a full-brother to smart bumper winner Kateira, and he must enter calculations on his debut, but I PLAY COUNTY gets the nod. This point-to-point scorer made a pleasing Rules bow when fourth behind subsequent Listed winner Royal Infantry over C&D last month and any improvement will see him go very close.
Prediction : 1st I Play County 2nd The New Lion 3rd Tom Doniphon
