UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

A winner over this C&D on his penultimate start, TELEPATHIC has plenty going for him back on Town Moor. Having since performed well to finish fourth off this mark in a Racing League event at Newcastle last month, the son of Oasis Dream has flourished over 1m2f and can kick on. Stormy Monday also won over this trip at Epsom most recently and a 4lb higher mark looks workable. Patrol and Forest Caper are other appealing contenders.
Prediction : 1st Telepathic 2nd Stormy Monday 3rd Patrol

Project Geofin was well handicapped when he won over a mile at Pontefract and supplemented that with a C&D win off 6lb higher last month. However, a further 2lb rise leaves him vulnerable over this trip under top-weight. With that in mind, fellow hat-trick seeker NIGHTSINWHITESATIN shades preference. Still of low mileage, Ed Bethell's filly has thrived since tackling 1m2f and could be ahead of her revised mark of just 77. Something Splendid and Say What You See complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Nightsinwhitesatin 2nd Project Geofin 3rd Something Splendid

After winning two of his three starts, Indian Springs looks a bright prospect. However, an opening mark of 96 is high enough for the handicap debutant and it might pay to go with one of the more wily contenders. GOD OF WAR, who has been highly tried since he won a novice race over C&D as a juvenile, fits the bill and appeals strongly after resuming winning ways at Sandown. Defence Minister, the in-form Pietro and Back In Black are others to note.
Prediction : 1st God Of War 2nd Indian Springs 3rd Defence Minister

Pocklington would be deserved winner following three defeats by under a length so far this term, while Commanche Falls finished narrowly in front of him at York last time and cannot be ruled out either. Royal Velvet struck on the Knavesmire a couple of days earlier and warrants respect lining up off 5lb higher, but TEN POUNDS shades the verdict. He has run well behind subsequent Group 2 winner More Thunder on his last couple of starts, particularly over 6f in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot, and should remain fiercely competitive despite a 2lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Ten Pounds 2nd Pocklington 3rd Commanche Falls

MOONJID was sent off favourite on his stable debut for Michael Appleby at Carlisle 13 days ago and lost little in defeat going under by a head. He remains open to improvement and won't mind cutting back a furlong judged on that latest evidence, so a bold bid is forecast. Beaming Light is a consistent gelding and was anything but disgraced when upped to class 4 level at Southwell last time. Finn Ironside has won twice recently, including over 7f at this venue, and he must enter calculations, while any further rainfall would boost the chances of recent heavy-ground winner Golden Pharaoh.
Prediction : 1st Moonjid 2nd Beaming Light 3rd Finn Ironside

QUEEN OF MOUGINS wasn't beaten far in this contest 12 months ago and her impressive seasonal/stable debut success at the Curragh last month suggests that she is probably a better filly now. Providing stall 16 doesn't prove a big negative, she should go very close under Jamie Spencer. Shuwari won a Listed event on very soft ground at Longchamp two weeks ago and ought to prove a big player here, especially if the rain keeps falling. Stepping down in class following a pleasing effort in Group 2 company at Newbury, Fair Angellica looks to have a solid each-way chance.
Prediction : 1st Queen Of Mougins 2nd Shuwari 3rd Fair Angellica

The consistent GETREADYTORUMBLE was only narrowly denied in a competitive event at Newbury a month ago and Jack Channon's gelding just tops the shortlist off a 1lb higher mark. Hiya Maite is an obvious danger following his close second over C&D last time and he may improve for the first-time application of blinkers. Others to note are Ventura Express, Blind Beggar and Jer Batt.
Prediction : 1st Getreadytorumble 2nd Hiya Maite 3rd Ventura Express

Acrisius was an impressive winner over 5f at Chester last time and has to be noted, although a 7lb rise makes life a lot tougher for him here. With that in mind, preference is for HK FOURTEEN, who won at Newbury two starts ago and was only beaten a short-head on his most recent outing at Newmarket. Brazilian Belle has made the frame on both starts since winning at Thirsk in July and could prove to be the main danger, while Azuinthejungle and Roach Power are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Hk Fourteen 2nd Brazilian Belle 3rd Acrisius
