Architect Tips has picked out a double at Doncaster for Futurity Trophy Day.
13:30 Doncaster
LA BELLOTA (best price 12/1) has been inconvenienced by the drop in trip the last twice but stayed on strongly to take fourth in a Group 3 last time out to suggest the return to six furlongs will suit.
His only previous outing over this trip saw him push the exciting Powerful Glory close in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes when runner-up on heavy ground at Newbury, and that is a solid piece of form.
With connections continuing to persist with him in pattern-class events and being the second highest-rated runner in the line-up, there’s every chance he will be right at the thick end of the action.
14:05 Doncaster
Aberama Gold, 0.5 pts E/W, 7/1
ABERAMA GOLD (best price 7/1) has plenty going for him in this contest, and the fact that Hollie Doyle can do the low weight suggests he’s going to be a serious force under suitable conditions.
He’s a C&D winner off a 13lb higher mark and sneaks into this contest at the bottom end of the handicap, with a draw to boot. He’s been running well all year off higher marks and should be difficult to topple.
