UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

With Alex Jary taking 5lb off his back, GOLDEN DUKE effectively runs off 2lb lower than when he won this corresponding race last year and is an attractive option with ground conditions likely to suit. Fellow course winner J R Cavagin also has a lot going for him and rates a player based on previous form, while Showtime Mahomes and Crypto Quest also enter calculations off competitive marks.
Prediction : 1st Golden Duke 2nd J R Cavagin 3rd Showtime Mahomes

Not much went right for CONSOLIDATION on his racecourse debut at Sandown a fortnight ago but the son of Too Darn Hot, who cost 300,000gns as a yearling, finished the race strongly once he saw daylight and could be hard to beat given he should be a good deal wiser this time. New Century also performed promisingly on his introduction in a similar race at Lingfield and also commands respect. Field Of Gold, a 530,000-euros son of Kingman, appeals most of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Consolidation 2nd New Century 3rd Field Of Gold

The consistent WICHAHPI has made good progress in three starts this season and, after successfully stepping back up to this trip at Catterick most recently, the Bryan Smart-trained filly has a major chance of following up off just 4lb higher. High Violet dropped a hint that her turn could be near when a close second at Salisbury 17 days ago and rates a key player off the same mark. Novello Lad and Royal Justice are a couple of others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Wichahpi 2nd High Violet 3rd Novello Lad

Cases can be made for many of these including the lightly-raced Golden Myrrh, who appeared to win with a bit in hand at Wolverhampton earlier this month. She's 4lb higher back on turf but should continue to progress, while Hostelry might not have been seen to best effect over a stiff 1m1f at Carlisle and should appreciate dropping back. A chance, however, is taken on OSCAR'S SISTER. There were positives to take from her reappearance over seven furlongs at Wetherby and the daughter of Dandy Man, who is now 10lb lower than when winning at Haydock in September 2022, could step forward.
Prediction : 1st Oscars Sister 2nd Golden Myrrh 3rd Hostelry

SOAMES FORSYTE broke his duck on the grass when winning at Nottingham last time out and a subsequent 2lb rise in the handicap looks more than fair. Ian Williams enlists the services of the in-form Oisin Murphy aboard Beylerbeyi and the Wolverhampton scorer must feature prominently in calculations, while Khathak, who finished a narrow second at Chester a fortnight ago, could prove strongest of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Soames Forsyte 2nd Beylerbeyi 3rd Khathak

The Queen's Vase was far too hot for SEE THE GREEN to handle but the Owen Burrows-trained son of Postponed made good strides prior to that trip to the Royal meeting, making it third-time lucky at Catterick, and can resume that progression. He has yet to encounter ground this quick and if it is a problem, Miss Gitana may be the one to take advantage after hitting the crossbar twice at Beverley. Night Horn and course winner Monsieur Melee command obvious attention, but none of these can be ruled out with any sort of confidence.
Prediction : 1st See The Green 2nd Miss Gitana 3rd Night Horn

Although a model of consistency anyway, SISTERANDBROTHER's form has gone to a new level since joining Kevin Frost, with a Haydock victory supplemented by a hard-fought Nottingham triumph. His 5lb penalty means he is 1lb higher than his revised rating, but the Nottingham runner-up came out and went close off a 3lb higher mark so the hat-trick beckons. Glistening Nights landed the odds to break his duck at Wetherby and heads a list of dangers that also includes Prince Achille and Bearwith.
Prediction : 1st Sisterandbrother 2nd Glistening Nights 3rd Prince Achille
