UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

Oilisa won twice at Ayr and Nottingham in October before being unable to land the hat-trick on her final start at Redcar. The four-year-old is more than capable of taking another step forward, but preference is for RISING FORCE. John Butler's gelding won on turf at Yarmouth last April after a productive spell on all-weather and arrives following a similar campaign. Others to consider include Asian Journey, Star Start and Tees George.
Prediction : 1st Rising Force 2nd Oilisa 3rd Asian Journey

Tales Of Wisdom ran out an impressive winner of his debut at Southwell in December but it wasn't the strongest contest and the son of Blue Point may be vulnerable under a 7lb penalty. With that in mind, the well-bred KING OF EARTH gets the vote. A half-brother to QEII winner King Of Change and Group 2 winner Century Dream, he made a promising start when second at Newbury in October and is open to plenty of improvement. Naval Light has been gelded after running well in some valuable maidens and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st King Of Earth 2nd Tales Of Wisdom 3rd Naval Light

GRABAJABBA finished third in this contest 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark and the five-year-old, who won on the all-weather at Wolverhampton last month, makes plenty of appeal back on turf. Just Queen High ended 2025 by scoring at Nottingham and is likely to enter calculations after a 5lb rise, while Tactical Plan and Golden Strike can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Grabajabba 2nd Just Queen High 3rd Tactical Plan

STANAGE won a division of this race 12 months ago from a 7lb higher mark and he ended last season with some encouraging efforts in defeat. With that in mind, it would be no surprise to see him repeat that success. Epictetus was only beaten a neck into second over 7f at Chelmsford recently and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Miletus, Red Mirage and Capital Guarantee.
Prediction : 1st Stanage 2nd Epictetus 3rd Miletus

Ashnak was a useful performer in France and has to be noted on his debut for these connections. That said, HARVEY caught the eye when third over a mile at Kempton recently and this unexposed four-year-old may improve significantly now stepped up in trip. Port Of London represents top connections and should not be underestimated, while Atherstone Warrior edges out Castle Stuart and Spioradalta to be next best.
Prediction : 1st Harvey 2nd Ashnak 3rd Port Of London

MORBEH appeared to have plenty in hand when winning on his handicap debut at Lingfield in January and Roger Varian's gelding merits plenty of respect off a 5lb higher mark here. Siam Ruby won at the second time of asking in a maiden at the same venue when last seen and she has to be respected off an opening mark of 72. Arc Ole Ole and Only In Manila also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Morbeh 2nd Siam Ruby 3rd Arc Ole Ole

Having ended his three-year-old campaign with a head second at Newmarket, it could be worth chancing SIXTYGEESBABY in an open contest. Now under the tutelage of David O'Meara, the son of Starspangledbanner has a fine record fresh and he may be able to defy a 2lb rise in the ratings. Territorial Knight was last seen finishing a good fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup in September and he must enter the reckoning, along with fellow C&D winners Fine Interview and Lord Bertie.
Prediction : 1st Sixtygeesbaby 2nd Territorial Knight 3rd Fine Interview

Juan Les Pins supplemented a close second at Newcastle when getting up to win at that same track 10 days ago. The nine-year-old has five turf victories to his name and merits respect in his follow-up bid, but CHARLIE MASON shades the verdict. Tony Carroll's gelding arrives on the back of a good runner-up effort at Wolverhampton and he won't mind any cut in the ground. Our Absent Friends and Ay Gee Ell are other race-fit rivals to consider.
Prediction : 1st Charlie Mason 2nd Juan Les Pins 3rd Our Absent Friends
