UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

A drop in distance didn't see BRASH in his best light when finishing fourth at Ayr and reverting to 6f could prove just the ticket. The Barrons' gelding had previously filled the runner-up spot in handicap company at Ripon and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Although Kohana Nation lacks a recent run, a repeat of his second at Newcastle 225 days ago is likely to see him involved. The Sioux Nation colt is feared most, ahead of Stoneacre Joe.
Prediction : 1st Brash 2nd Kohana Nation 3rd Stoneacre Joe

All five nursery debutants are open to improvement, with WELEYFF getting the vote. The Ed Bethell-trained colt had a subsequent winner behind him in fourth when opening his account at Ayr and an opening mark of 81 looks workable. For all that Eighth Immortal has proved expensive to follow in two outings to date, he hasn't been disgraced, especially when runner-up on debut to Vintage winner Dr Rascal at Leicester, and is expected to be involved once more, along Lincoln Warrior, who was behind Jack Jones' charge at Chester.
Prediction : 1st Weleyff 2nd Eighth Immortal 3rd Lincoln Warrior

Forest Berry was denied by just a neck on her most recent outing at Chepstow and looks more than capable of scoring at this level. However, she may have to play second fiddle once more if TIORA TIME can find any improvement. Tom Clover's filly should have learned plenty from her opening third at Epsom and this ease in trip is forecast to suit. There are plenty of newcomers on show, with Eagle Storm and Pon Pon Dalia worth a second look in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Tiora Time 2nd Forest Berry 3rd Eagle Storm

Having scored on two of his last three outings, SUPER HIT ticks plenty of the right boxes. A 3lb nudge up in the ratings for the five-year-old's latest success at Windsor is effectively negated by Christian Howarth's claim and this could prove a suitable opportunity for him to follow up. Most of the other rivals appear to be in the assessor's grip at present, with recent course fourth Mariner rating as the biggest threat, ahead of reopposing sixth Whiskey Pete.
Prediction : 1st Super Hit 2nd Mariner 3rd Whiskey Pete

Shadow Run is worthy of a market watch ahead of his first run for Scott Dixon after arriving from Ireland, but he will need a step forward if he wants to get the better of HAADERR. Placed on his first two starts, he won at the third attempt eased down at Southwell. Gelded in June, his return at Catterick is well worth forgiving and may do a lot better on this occasion. Suspicious Mindz is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Haaderr 2nd Shadow Run 3rd Suspicious Mindz

With no winning course form to work with, a chance is taken on SPARKLING PINK, who finished third last month at Ripon when weakening late on over a mile. First-time cheekpieces and a furlong less here could see her home in front off the same mark. Moonhall Lass won at Leicester in June and is back up in trip after her fourth at the same venue which could see her in the mix, while Hares Bredth drops in grade for his first try at 7f which can only help.
Prediction : 1st Sparkling Pink 2nd Moonhall Lass 3rd Hares Bredth

WILDE AND DANDY hasn't won since scoring over C&D at this time last year. Now back on the same mark, he faced a tougher test here a fortnight ago and is worth another chance in this lesser company with Ivan Furtado's yard in fine form. Von Trotter remains unexposed and looks worth a try over longer trip having placed at Ripon recently. He could prove the main threat, ahead of Mister Mcgregor.
Prediction : 1st Wilde And Dandy 2nd Von Trotter 3rd Mister Mcgregor

SHAZANI has placed over 7f at the track on his last couple of starts. Roy Bowring's charge attempted to make all on both occasions, so this drop in trip looks the logical move and he gets the nod ahead of Celtic Arrow. The latter made a promising handicap debut when narrowly beaten at Thirsk and she should have more to offer, while Mark's Choice and Another Investment are others worthy of a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Shazani 2nd Celtic Arrow 3rd Marks Choice
