UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

Maximilian displayed more verve when second on his chasing bow at Haydock and any improvement for that seasonal reappearance can see this go right to the wire. However, it could be worth taking a chance on BLUE LAS, who receives 7lb from Donald McCain's charge and she shapes as if stepping up in trip could unlock some improvement on just her third start over fences.
Prediction : 1st Blue Las 2nd Maximilian 3rd null

Although unable to justify favouritism when third on her hurdles bow at Warwick earlier this month, that experience should stand MADE U BLUSH in good stead. This looks a suitable opportunity for the Dan Skelton-trained filly to open her account and she gets the nod over Laysoft. The daughter of Churchill may have gone too fast on timber debut over C&D and isn't taken lightly. Hurdling newcomers Fitzroy Gardens and Penn Avenue are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Made U Blush 2nd Laysoft 3rd Fitzroy Gardens

TIDDESLEY WOOD built on his promising hurdles bow at Aintree when opening his account at Windsor last month. The five-year-old looks capable of better and he edges the vote in a tricky contest. Doctor Blue shares the same official rating as the selection and, despite carrying top weight, must enter the reckoning. Huntingdon winner Draco Malfoy adds further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Tiddesley Wood 2nd Doctor Blue 3rd Draco Malfoy

Staying seems to be the forte of FIERCE WARRIOR, who was a game winner over 3m2f here last month. That was just his second start over fences and the son of Sholokhov should be capable adapting to a 6lb higher mark. The veterans Fortescue and Ladronne are much more experienced in this discipline and can exploit any weakness shown by the selection.
Prediction : 1st Fierce Warrior 2nd Fortescue 3rd Ladronne

Willie Mullins appears to hold all the aces, with the upwardly mobile SPINDLEBERRY preferred over her stable companion Fun Fun Fun. The latter is a multiple pattern-race winner that is surely better than she managed when returning from a break at Punchestown last month. However, Spindleberry is undefeated over fences so far and would be hard to beat if replicating anything like the performance she posted when landing a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse as a novice in April. Paggane, who chases a Listed-race three-timer, is the obvious pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Spindleberry 2nd Fun Fun Fun 3rd Paggane

Rockola Vogue continued her upward trajectory when completing a double at Ascot last month and it would be folly to dismiss her. However, a 6lb higher mark does demand more and J J MOON is slightly more compelling. Emma Lavelle's charge arrives on the back of a good third in a valuable class 3 event at Newbury and a 2lb rise may prove workable. Bugise Seagull is also of interest reverting to timber.
Prediction : 1st J J Moon 2nd Rockola Vogue 3rd Bugise Seagull

PARK TALK shaped well on his latest fifth in a maiden hurdle at Newbury and an opening mark of 111 could underestimate his true ability. Harry Derham's charge had previously filled the runner-up spot at Stratford and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Paddys Policy failed to build on a promising reappearance at Wetherby when finishing down the field at Aintree last month, but a subsequent wind procedure could see him back on the premises. Aeroplane Blonde is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Park Talk 2nd Paddys Policy 3rd Aeroplane Blonde
