UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

DOCTOR KILDARE hasn't looked back since joining Sam Thomas and going handicapping, winning a conditionals' event at Bangor before taking full advantage of escaping a penalty at Hereford. He has a 6lb higher mark to contend with but should be up to it. Sunshine Diamond failed in his hat-trick mission at Fontwell back in April but, as long as he is ready to roll, he should give the selection most to think about. Romeo Brown is just about the pick of the other two.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Kildare 2nd Sunshine Diamond 3rd Romeo Brown

AQUA BLEU will have given connections plenty to look forward to with his debut effort when just denied by a Nicky Henderson-trained juvenile at Hereford. Improvement is anticipated, although it may not even be needed for him to go one better here. Laysoft sprung a 28/1 surprise at Huntingdon, but she was a fair way behind Big Love when they were fourth and fifth at Market Rasen prior to that.
Prediction : 1st Aqua Bleu 2nd Big Love 3rd Laysoft

A point-to-point winner before backing it up with a NH Flat race brace, DALSTON LAD was pitched into the Champion Bumper. He understandably came up short there, and also flopped on his hurdling debut on his Cheltenham comeback, but that outing has hopefully taken the fizz out of him and he can make amends. Gillespie made the frame, albeit beaten a fair way, at Chepstow and should step forward. Matty's Getaway and Quay Item are worth a look too.
Prediction : 1st Dalston Lad 2nd Gillespie 3rd Mattys Getaway

A deceptively trappy contest, not least because all four are returning from an absence. Hurricane Bay was last seen winning at Fakenham, but this is a tougher test and MOON ROCKET gets the vote. The five-year-old was pulled up in the Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree, but the point-to-point winner had been progressive prior and chasing promises to be more his game. Henri The Second flopped on his sole fencing effort but it's far too soon to write him off in this sphere, while similar comments apply to Bugise Seagull.
Prediction : 1st Moon Rocket 2nd Henri The Second 3rd Hurricane Bay

Grain D'oudairies put his rivals to the sword at Kelso and an 8lb rise doesn't look particularly harsh, while it is interesting that Willie Mullins opts to send unexposed chaser Road To Home across the Irish Sea. Alien Storm and Tapley both arrive on the back of victories, as does TARAS HALLS, who shades preference. The seven-year-old landed a gamble in first-time blinkers at Newcastle a fortnight ago and he might have been underestimated by a 6lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Taras Halls 2nd Grain Doudairies 3rd Road To Home

DREAMS FLED AWAY has been freshened up since coming up just short in his pursuit of a double at Uttoxeter. Conditional Isabelle Ryder has been in flying form lately and her 7lb claim could prove vital once again. Both Guillaume and Inion Tiogair struck the woodwork on their latest outings, but the consistent Diesel Line drops in class and he could be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Dreams Fled Away 2nd Diesel Line 3rd Guillaume

The handicapper might have caught up with Orange Diamond but he gets on well with Jack Andrews, who can claim aboard him today, and recent wind surgery could also help eke out extra. Despite that, a chance is taken on BRAVE MOVE, who made a satisfactory return at Huntingdon earlier this month. He can take a step forward, although so might Sumatran Tiger and Ballynoe Boy, who both make their handicap debuts.
Prediction : 1st Brave Move 2nd Orange Diamond 3rd Sumatran Tiger
