UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

Mariner has to be respected following two wins in recent weeks, but he is unproven over this far and that is a concern. As a result, preference is for L'EAGLE AID, who was narrowly denied when last seen at Ayr in September and a 1lb rise should not prevent a bold bid on his return to action. Fast Fred is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st LEagle Aid 2nd Mariner 3rd Fast Fred

FAST TRACK HARRY struggled in Listed company on his final start last year but his previous success at Newbury suggests that he could be hard to stop at this level. Zubaru displayed plenty of promise when second on his racecourse bow at Newmarket in November and he could prove to be the main danger. Any market support for either of Glamorous Angela or Twilight Ice would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Fast Track Harry 2nd Zubaru 3rd Twilight Ice

CALL ME BY MY NAME took a big step forward when filling second place over an extended 5f at Chester earlier in the month and James Horton's colt could be hard to stop if finding further progression here. Believeinmenow and Wateen both hit the crossbar on their racecourse debuts and are likely to be in the mix once again. All of the newcomers make some appeal, but Echoofmymind is just the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Call Me By My Name 2nd Believeinmenow 3rd Wateen

Twilight Romance finally added to his maiden success when scoring at Leicester last month. He could prove competitive once again, given the runner-up has subsequently won, but PALS BATTALION is taken to edge this contest. The latter showed progressive form when winning three times on the all-weather over the winter, and can launch another strong challenge having finished runner-up at Thirsk a fortnight ago. Rock Opera showed signs of a resurgence when second at Pontefract and could shape well.
Prediction : 1st Pals Battalion 2nd Twilight Romance 3rd Rock Opera

TAWASOL returned to 6f at Brighton and made every yard to win a maiden race with the minimum of fuss. The son of Havana Grey looks potentially well handicapped, given the ease of that success, and could prove tough to catch if allowed his own way in front. Dothan made a winning start in handicaps when scoring over the minimum trip here. There looks more to come from him over this extra furlong, while Alpha Magic is another unexposed type who could also feature.
Prediction : 1st Tawasol 2nd Dothan 3rd Alpha Magic

QUEEN OF GOOD NEWS was too keen to do herself justice on her reappearance at Nottingham, but it was a different story when keeping on for third over 7f here three weeks ago. The daughter of Advertise ought to relish a return to a mile on that evidence and from 1lb lower, she can go close. Blue Train went agonisingly close at Windsor last time out and is respected under similar conditions, while others to note include Homeland and Mini Mac.
Prediction : 1st Queen Of Good News 2nd Blue Train 3rd Homeland

Although unproven at this trip, Haptics kept on well enough over 1m4f here a fortnight ago to suggest it could suit him. However, the vote goes to Nottingham scorer COCK AND BULL. Michael Bell's gelding was progressive last season but his latest performance was a career-best, offering hope there might be much more to come from the son of Make Believe. Clockmaker heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cock And Bull 2nd Haptics 3rd Clockmaker
