UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

Filibustering sets a decent standard because he acquitted himself as well as could be expected in the Grade 1 juvenile event at Aintree following an impressive jumping bow, and shaped satisfactorily on his Bangor comeback. He may struggle to successfully concede 7lb to STORMING GEORGE, though, with Neil King's charge running well in a Grade 2 bumper before returning with an encouraging third on his first crack at timber at Newbury. Manalishi displayed ability on his Chepstow introduction, and winning pointer Timmys Jet Away is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Storming George 2nd Filibustering 3rd Timmys Jet Away

JOSH THE BOSS lost nothing in defeat in a Warwick match and was then gifted a walkover at Newbury a couple of days later. He was a useful hurdler who should make his mark in this sphere and remains on an attractive rating. Southoftheborder and Hecouldbetheone have the edge in chasing experience but the biggest threat may emerge in the shape of fencing newcomer Wolf Moon, who took well to the jumping game last term and didn't give his true running in a valuable event at Sandown.
Prediction : 1st Josh The Boss 2nd Wolf Moon 3rd Southoftheborder

MADAME LUNA made it two from two with an all-the-way victory at Wetherby back in February and had a couple of subsequent winners behind her, including a filly who has struck twice since. The Harry Derham-trained four-year-old looks quite a nice prospect and can maintain her unbeaten record, possibly at the chief expense of Mighty Fleur, who probably bumped into a decent mare at Ludlow. Reina Del Mar has had wind surgery during a break, while Scavengers Reign and Crystal Days are two more to consider in a competitive affair.
Prediction : 1st Madame Luna 2nd Mighty Fleur 3rd Reina Del Mar

KALIUM enjoyed a profitable first season over obstacles, winning three of his five starts, including on his most recent appearance at Newbury. He was successful on debut and went close on his first run last year, so is fancied to pick up where he left off. Camarrate had High Dancer a couple of positions in arrears when runner-up at Wetherby, although Nicky Richards' charge was an odds-on favourite there and is fancied to improve past his rival. Serious Chat is a contender if jumping better than he did at Bangor.
Prediction : 1st Kalium 2nd High Dancer 3rd Camarrate

FIERCE WARRIOR had to settle for second on his chasing debut at Sedgefield, but that creditable performance looks even better in hindsight because he was giving away lumps of weight to a horse who has gone in again since. The six-year-old is Nicky Henderson's only runner on the card and has scope for plenty of improvement. Snowy Evening and Broomfields Cave have good form to recommend them, but both return from lengthy layoffs so course scorer Red Delta might be more dangerous, as long as he puts a subsequent Wetherby no-show behind him.
Prediction : 1st Fierce Warrior 2nd Red Delta 3rd Snowy Evening

LE YACHT may not have benefited from the last two hurdles being taken out on his first run since February when making his handicap debut at Aintree. The four-year-old made some headway before weakening in the closing stages and that run is expected to bring him forward. Parramount had a recent spin at Wolverhampton and is of interest back over timber, while Charging Thunder's fourth at Huntingdon suggests he is capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Le Yacht 2nd Parramount 3rd Charging Thunder

LUNA GRACE made a promising enough start to her career when third at Market Rasen last month and the daughter of Kameko is taken to put that experience to best use. Ashburton makes plenty of appeal on paper being related to bumper winners and coming from a yard with a fine record in this sphere. Others to note are Mariah's Dream, Antheia and Frenati.
Prediction : 1st Luna Grace 2nd Ashburton 3rd Mariahs Dream
