UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

This is wide open and only a tentative vote can go to HAVANA PRINCE. The gelded son of Havana Grey was progressive on the turf last season, winning three times, and was perhaps in need of the outing at Newcastle recently. Hartswood has been in good form on the all-weather over the winter months and the previous C&D winner warrants plenty of respect. Others to note include Rising Force, Zous Juice and Calanthe.
Prediction : 1st Havana Prince 2nd Hartswood 3rd Rising Force

PANTILE WARRIOR posted a series of creditable efforts in novice/maiden company last season and the son of Frankel opened his account when returned to action at Chelmsford earlier this month. A mark of 87 looks fair based on what he's already achieved and the three-year-old is expected to double his tally. Chartwell Jock made all of the running at Wolverhampton last time out and is of clear interest now sent handicapping. Modern Utopia struck at Nottingham in October before going in again at Newmarket the following month, though a 10lb higher mark will ask more of her.
Prediction : 1st Pantile Warrior 2nd Chartwell Jock 3rd Modern Utopia

This contest can often throw up a useful winner and that might be the case with Richard Hannon's MEBLESH. The Sea The Stars colt fetched 100,000 euros as a juvenile and is a brother to four separate winners, each possessing above-average ability. Palmarian shaped with promise in a decent maiden at Newmarket when last seen and must enter calculations, along with Honved, who looks certain to improve on his debut effort at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Meblesh 2nd Palmarian 3rd Honved

Having progressed nicely since undergoing wind surgery last summer, EYE OF DUBAI returns with scope to make a big impact in races of this type over the coming months. Handed a rise of just 3lb for a C&D win when last seen in November, the son of Havana Grey starts the new campaign on a realistic mark and makes plenty of appeal. Other strong contenders include last year's winner Knebworth, Aramis Grey, Bosh and Billyjoh.
Prediction : 1st Eye Of Dubai 2nd Knebworth 3rd Aramis Grey

MAGICO, who was an eye-catching second over this trip at Chelmsford 17 days ago, could be the way to go now he is tried with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination. That was the four-year-old's first start since undergoing wind surgery and there could be plenty more to come. There are obviously dangers aplenty with the likes of Stressfree, City Of Delight and Asgard's Captain all suggested as capable players. Qitaal is also dangerous to rule out.
Prediction : 1st Magico 2nd Stressfree 3rd City Of Delight

ATA RANGI is highly notable starting out for Ed Walker and could well make a winning start to his handicapping career. The son of Decorated Knight was the ready winner of a maiden at Roscommon on his final start for Henry De Bromhead and has bags of scope to make further progress from a mark of just 76. The lightly-weighted Chuzzlewit and Outrun The Storm have been in fair form on all-weather and revert to turf with each-way chances. However, Madame De Sevigne's most recent form has a solid look and she rates the biggest threat to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Ata Rangi 2nd Madame De Sevigne 3rd Chuzzlewit

Having finished last season with a never-nearer second over 6f at Newmarket, stable debutant IMPERIAL GUARD makes plenty of appeal reverting to 7f. The Michael Dods-trained four-year-old is only 1lb higher on this return to action and he looks open to improvement over today's distance. The biggest threat may emerge from Zip, who has been in decent heart on the all-weather in recent months. Dolce Courage, Dapper Valley and Onemorenomore are others to consider in an open affair.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Guard 2nd Zip 3rd Dolce Courage

HAPPIER relished her first attempt over 5f when making all at Southwell in November. The daughter of Profitable scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 4lb higher rating is surmountable and reverting to turf shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Gustav Graves boasts a recent second at Wolverhampton and the seven-year-old's proven fitness could prove crucial in a race chock-full of returning rivals. Derek Shaw's gelding is feared most, ahead of Glory Hyde and Mattice.
Prediction : 1st Happier 2nd Gustav Graves 3rd Glory Hyde
