UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

This can go the way of HALF SOVEREIGN, who continues to go from strength to strength and has been raised 4lb for her most recent success over 7f at Newmarket. Her dam won on heavy ground, which bodes well in regards to potential underfoot conditions, and Karl Burke's filly is preferred to Gwen John, who was narrowly denied in her bid to land a double at Carlisle last month. The hat-trick seeking Brisk Symphony is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Half Sovereign 2nd Gwen John 3rd Brisk Symphony

The Owen Burrows stable has an excellent record here and CALENDAR GIRL catches the eye following a creditable second at Epsom behind a subsequent winner. Dropping in trip should suit and she may have too much for Irish raider Brussels, who brings strong form to the table. Similar comments apply to Jel Pepper, while Song of The Clyde looks to build on his success in a similar race at York last month.
Prediction : 1st Calendar Girl 2nd Brussels 3rd Jel Pepper

A prestigious race which has produced some top-class fillies in recent years and this season's renewal can go the way of the progressive MOON TARGET. The daughter of Cracksman didn't seem to handle the track at Goodwood last time out, but still ran well to finish second behind a talented rival and her two wins prior to that had been impressive. Arriving here on the back of a determined debut success at Deauville, Rose Ghaiyyath is likely to be thereabouts, as well as Venetian Lace, who brings a strong level of form to the table.
Prediction : 1st Moon Target 2nd Rose Ghaiyyath 3rd Venetian Lace

Danielle made a pleasing return to action when stepping up in trip for the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood and commands plenty of respect along with her stable companion Crepe Suzette, who may have been an unlucky loser at York in Listed company. The vote, though, goes to CONSENT following her runner-up effort at Deauville as this kind of test appears to be right up her street. Floresta showed a fine attitude to land the Vinnie Roe at Leopardstown and has to enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Consent 2nd Danielle 3rd Crepe Suzette

FIRST PRINCIPLE has looked promising so far and arrives following a second career success at Windsor when justifying very short odds. Now pitched into handicap company, William Haggas' colt is expected to make further progress and score at the expense of Hopewell Rock, who looked in need of his return effort at Newbury. Devil's Advocate has been highly tried this season, including when fourth in the Dante, and is likely to be competitive dropped in class.
Prediction : 1st First Principle 2nd Hopewell Rock 3rd Devils Advocate

SPECIAL DIVIDEND built on his all-weather novice victories when third in a valuable nursery at York last month. The form was franked when the runner-up won a Listed event in France and a 2lb rise from the handicapper may well be on the lenient side. Reverberate is likely to be in the mix following his success at Catterick, while others to consider include Jeddaal and Crown Of Light.
Prediction : 1st Special Dividend 2nd Reverberate 3rd Jeddaal

PACIFICA PIER's debut win at Sandown carries substance and he then had a valid excuse (carried right and short of room) when a close third under a penalty at Newmarket last time. He could be quite smart and the Godolphin-owned gelding can bounce straight back on his nursery debut. Last-time winners Mcmurray and Royal Bodyguard could benefit from a strong tempo and are serious threats to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Pacifica Pier 2nd Mcmurray 3rd Royal Bodyguard

Explode was the ready winner of a novice race over an extended 1m1f at Salisbury last month and debuts in a handicap with bags of scope for improvement over this longer trip. However, with several others entering this in good form, this represents a much stiffer test. The reliable CROWD QUAKE, who has won five of his last six starts, is more proven over this trip and is preferred. Munsif, Best Adventure and Muhaajim also command respect.
Prediction : 1st Crowd Quake 2nd Explode 3rd Munsif
