UK Horse Racing Tips: Doncaster

BULLETSNAP seems likely to head the market after the William Haggas-trained Minzaal colt bolted up by over six lengths at Ripon, making all of the running. Given a new mark of 87 ahead of his nursery debut, that may underestimate his abilities and soft ground should not be an issue. Glamorize won twice at Nottingham over the summer and she appeals as a slightly bigger danger than Furturra.
Prediction : 1st Bulletsnap 2nd Glamorize 3rd Furturra

Brighton Boy is searching for his hat-trick after victories at Pontefract and Catterick, but a 5lb penalty and the move up in class are against him. City Captain is admirably consistent, with two wins and two places from his last four starts, but FINE INTERVIEW gets the nod. Successful last year off 6lb lower, his record at Doncaster is three wins from five appearances, all over this trip, and he handles the predicted ground better than most.
Prediction : 1st Fine Interview 2nd City Captain 3rd Brighton Boy

Murashah returned from the sidelines with triumphs at Thirsk and Ripon, but he has been upped a further 8lb. He can still go well, as can Inishbeg, who sprung a surprise off 3lb lower last month and could have more to offer, but PALLADAS is less exposed. Making his handicap debut after taking his maiden at Kempton and a novice at Southwell, both over a mile, if he has the pace for the drop back to 7f, he looks the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Palladas 2nd Murashah 3rd Inishbeg

DESERT ROMANCE displayed signs of inexperience when third at Newmarket on debut. Saying that, she showed enough to suggest she can score at this level and William Buick prefers her to stablemate and newcomer Snow Carnival. The selection may have more to fear from Fortis Fortuna, given William Haggas won last year's inaugural running with subsequent Listed winner Lilt, who made the frame on British Champions Day last weekend. Macha'allah is the first foal of Group 1 winner Saffron Beach and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Desert Romance 2nd Fortis Fortuna 3rd Snow Carnival

A Dubawi colt out of the brilliant Enable, ENTRUST will likely attract most attention on debut. Any strong support for John & Thady Gosden's charge could prove significant and he may prove successful at the first time of asking. The 800,000-euro purchase Age Of Reason could prove best of the three runners sporting the Godolphin colours, while Laurel Crown is partnered by Oisin Murphy and makes more appeal than stable companion Vallejo.
Prediction : 1st Entrust 2nd Age Of Reason 3rd Laurel Crown

BIG HARRY won his maiden here last season and was having only his second start of the year when successful at Ayr last month. It was testing ground on both occasions, so William Stone's unexposed sprinter may well defy a 4lb rise for his latest success. Alpha Magic also scored on heavy going at Ayr last time and is taken to confirm running with Topwarrior (fourth), while Bone Marra will handle the underfoot conditions and drops in class with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Big Harry 2nd Alpha Magic 3rd Bone Marra

ALMARADA PRINCE has retained a competitive mark by only going up 2lb for winning at Pontefract and a chance is taken that he can strike again. Lipsink can be hit or miss in events such as this. However, he too has the ability to be a key player and is only 3lb above his winning mark at Musselburgh. The less-exposed Angel Gabriel and class-dropping Intense Vision are others to seriously consider.
Prediction : 1st Almarada Prince 2nd Lipsink 3rd Angel Gabriel

Dryburgh appeals after returning from a short break with a good second at Bath, while Mayaada went one better at Nottingham and steps back up in trip with reasonable claims. Others to note include Blue Wonder and Kokanee, who are both suited by this distance. Nevertheless, slender preference is for GEO, who won't mind the underfoot conditions and reverts to 1m2f with a live chance. She is reunited with Paul Mulrennan, who guided her to victory at Ayr last month.
Prediction : 1st Geo 2nd Dryburgh 3rd Mayaada
