(5) Nocte Volatus 3/1, Improved markedly for switch to chasing, making all to rout 6-rivals at Catterick (19.2f) in December. Blotted copybook by running out at the first at Hereford but obvious claims if keeping straight.
3
2nd (3) (3/1 +10%) Ahead Of The Field
3
3/1(+10%)
(3) Ahead Of The Field 3/1, Fair hurdle winner in Ireland who defied a 5-lb lower mark over fences for present yard at Southwell (20.4f) in December. Not in same form back there 25 days ago but bounce back not ruled out.
2
3rd (2) (33/1 +0%) O Connell Street
33
33/1(+0%)
(2) O Connell Street 33/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish chaser for Gordon Elliott who stopped quickly when pulled up on yard debut at Musselburgh (20.3f) 25 days ago. Watching brief advised on the back of that.
6
4th (6) (2.5/1 +55%) Full Of Surprises
2.5
2.5/1(+55%)
(6) Full Of Surprises 2.5/1, Hurdles winner back in 2019 who has largely struggled to make an impact since. However, definite encouragement to glean from last month's second over fences at Catterick. Claims if building on that.
4
5th (4) (5.5/1 -22%) Avoid De Master
5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(4) Avoid De Master 5.5/1, Fair handicap hurdler for Fergal O'Brien and similar form over fences for this yard, off the mark in this sphere at Newcastle (16.3f) last month. Possibilities from 3 lb higher mark.
1
6th (1) (5.5/1 +15%) Tupelo Mississippi
5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(1) Tupelo Mississippi 5.5/1, Dual bumper/maiden hurdle winner who showed aptitude for chasing when runner-up in a match at Carlisle (20f) in November. Beaten when pulled up at Newcastle since but bounce back not ruled out.
LTO Selection:

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Skytastic 1.38/1, Knew his job when making all on debut at Newbury in November 2020 and followed up 4 months later at this track. He's a useful jumper in the making and sure to be popular on hurdles bow.
3
2nd (3) (1.88/1 +44%) Godrevy Point
1.88
1.88/1(+44%)
(3) Godrevy Point 1.88/1, Modest in bumpers but left his hurdling debut form behind when runner-up at this track (20.8f) in November, proving game after a final-flight error. Unlucky not to win, so should be in the mix here.
4
3rd (4) (12/1 -71%) Hyland
12
12/1(-71%)
(4) Hyland 12/1, Some encouragement when fourth in bumper at Ludlow and shaped as if in need of the experience sent hurdling when fourth at Taunton earlier this month. Needs to brush up on his jumping, though.
8
4th (8) (18/1 -13%) Starlyte
18
18/1(-13%)
(8) Starlyte 18/1, Stepped up on debut when comfortably off the mark in Kelso bumper (16.2f) in May. Looked surprisingly short of pace upped in trip for hurdles bow at Musselburgh recently so step forward required.
5
5th (5) (9/1 +44%) Ron Burgundy
9
9/1(+44%)
(5) Ron Burgundy 9/1, £60,000 4-y-o: fourth foal: brother to a point winner: dam (h119) bumper/2m-2½m hurdle winner. Runner-up on second start in Irish points last time (Oct 31).
7
6th (7) (50/1 -25%) Shighness
50
50/1(-25%)
(7) Shighness 50/1, Much improved to get off the mark at the fourth attempt in bumpers at Wetherby in November but beaten a long way back there (19.7f, heavy) when third on hurdles bow on Boxing Day.
1
7th (1) (150/1 -50%) Bannside
150
150/1(-50%)
(1) Bannside 150/1, Well held in bumper/2 novice hurdles at Ayr so impossible to fancy on what he's shown so far.
2
|PU| (2) (6/1 -9%) Commodore Miller
6
6/1(-9%)
(2) Commodore Miller 6/1, Much better effort in bumpers when fourth at Sandown and collared dying strides on his hurding debut at Fakenham just under 6 weeks ago. Not dismissed.
LTO Selection:
12:45 Doncaster Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Funambule Sivola 1.25/1, Took really well to chasing last term when a 4-time winner, and back with promising second in 20f Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon. Easy to forgive Cheltenham run and should go well back at 2m.
2
2nd (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Before Midnight
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(2) Before Midnight 3.5/1, Showed himself to be still on the up over fences when completing a four-timer in 2m handicap at Ascot. Outclassed in Grade 2 at Kempton since but should be much more competitive in this.
3
2nd (3) (12/1 -20%) The Big Bite
12
12/1(-20%)
(3) The Big Bite 12/1, Winning start for this yard on return at Aintree last term and followed that with a couple of creditable efforts in defeat. Well held last 3 starts, however, including this season. Yard remain quiet.
7
4th (7) (14/1 +0%) Gold Des Bois
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Gold Des Bois 14/1, Hurdles/chase winner in Ireland who filled the runner-up spot for the fourth outing in succession at Musselburgh. Running creditably when unseated there on New Year's Day. Current mark sums him up.
4
5th (4) (14/1 -17%) King D'argent
14
14/1(-17%)
(4) King D'argent 14/1, Highly progressive over fences last term, notching his third victory in this sphere at Warwick in March. Kelso reappearance third was respectable but well held both starts since.
5
6th (5) (9/1 -13%) Fransham
9
9/1(-13%)
(5) Fransham 9/1, Useful hurdler who quickly matched that level over fences when readily scoring at Wetherby in November. Held form since though his finishing effort was a little underwhelming when third there latest.
6
|F| (6) (6/1 +0%) Moonlighter
6
6/1(+0%)
(6) Moonlighter 6/1, Benefited from an attacking ride when successful at Sandown a year ago. Back to form when third there earlier this month, albeit finding little again. On a good mark if building on that.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Doncaster Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Cherokee Dance 40/1, Fair on Flat, stays 12.5f, won in December and runner-up all 3 starts since. Usual cheekpieces on now hurdling but she's pitched in quite deep.
5
1st (5) (6/1 +8%) Six Feet Apart
6
6/1(+8%)
(5) Six Feet Apart 6/1, Off the mark at Fairyhouse on hurdles debut in November and matched that form in listed and Grade 3 company since. Work to do with Sea Sessions on their clash at Aintree.
1
2nd (1) (4/1 -45%) Sea Sessions
4
4/1(-45%)
(1) Sea Sessions 4/1, Fair Flat winner who has made a sound start over hurdles, runner-up first 2 starts prior to going one better at Aintree in December (listed). Does need to improve conceding 5 lb all round.
7
3rd (7) (1/1 +28%) White Pepper
1
1/1(+28%)
(7) White Pepper 1/1, Fairly useful on Flat and all the better for hurdles debut when running away with a Galway juvenile hurdle in October. Improved again when adding to tally at Fairyhouse and she sets the standard.
4
4th (4) (4.5/1 +40%) La Renommee
4.5
4.5/1(+40%)
(4) La Renommee 4.5/1, Fair form over hurdles, won fillies juvenile at Les Sables-d'Olonne in September. Good short-neck second in similar race at Auteuil last time. Left E. & G. Leenders €120,000 in November.
3
5th (3) (12/1 -140%) Galah
12
12/1(-140%)
(3) Galah 12/1, Fairly useful on Flat for Ralph Beckett and didn't need to match earlier placed form in this sphere to justify favouritism over C&D a month ago. That wasn't a strong race.
6
6th (6) (80/1 -100%) Tiki Fire
80
80/1(-100%)
(6) Tiki Fire 80/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Karl Burke (stays 1½m). Minor promise over hurdles but this looks far too tough.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Doncaster Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(9) Ridgeway 3/1, Fair 10f Flat winner for Eve Johnson Houghton. Goes hurdling now after a wind op (tongue strap also on) and he can't be discounted for top yard.
5
2nd (5) (5.5/1 -38%) Foxhollow
5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(5) Foxhollow 5.5/1, €20,000 foal, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to useful 19f-2½m hurdle winner Jetoile. Lots to like on paper, so Irish challenger merits serious consideration.
10
3rd (10) (25/1 +0%) Scudamore
25
25/1(+0%)
(10) Scudamore 25/1, Fair 14f Flat winner for Ivan Furtado. Needs considering now going hurdling for his new handler.
3
4th (3) (28/1 -12%) Callisto's King
28
28/1(-12%)
(3) Callisto's King 28/1, Went backwards from debut when only ninth of 12 in bumper at Southwell 47 days ago. In top hands but he makes hurdles debut now with a bit to prove.
6
5th (6) (3.33/1 -11%) Imperial Hope
3.33
3.33/1(-11%)
(6) Imperial Hope 3.33/1, Debut bumper winner but raced too freely when only seventh of 9 in 2m novice hurdle (2/1) at Hereford 88 days ago. Since had breathing op and not written off in first-time hood.
4
6th (4) (1.88/1 +62%) Creggan White Hare
1.88
1.88/1(+62%)
(4) Creggan White Hare 1.88/1, Winner of bumper at Newcastle in February but off 10 months since last in Champion bumper at Cheltenham for Sean Conway. No surprise to see him step forward now hurdling for excellent new yard.
1
7th (1) (18/1 -200%) Arij
18
18/1(-200%)
(1) Arij 18/1, Fairly useful 10f scorer on the level for Simon & Ed Crisford. Sent hurdling after 9 months off and needs to hit the ground running. Tongue strap on.
7
8th (7) (33/1 +18%) Jack Of All Shapes
33
33/1(+18%)
(7) Jack Of All Shapes 33/1, Fair form shown in bumpers but only eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Lots more required.
8
9th (8) (300/1 -200%) Jupiter Road
300
300/1(-200%)
(8) Jupiter Road 300/1, Modest 10f Flat winner for Nigel Tinkler but he has offered little in two runs over hurdles for current yard. Hard to make a case for.
2
|PU| (2) (66/1 -65%) Barrule Park
66
66/1(-65%)
(2) Barrule Park 66/1, Had wind op and tongue strap on when pulled up in novice at Catterick (19.3f) on hurdles bow 45 days ago. Needs a big step forward.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Doncaster Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(9) Killane 3.5/1, Scored on handicap debut in October and quickly dispelled his Southwell blip when going in again at Newcastle in December. Ran a bit below that level at Ayr last time but should remain competitive.
6
1st (6) (5.5/1 +0%) Tommaso
5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(6) Tommaso 5.5/1, Fair maiden on Flat who shaped with encouragement when third in a Market Rasen juvenile in early December. Back to a similar level when second at Wetherby 3 weeks ago and his opening mark looks fair.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 +56%) Chess Player
4
4/1(+56%)
(2) Chess Player 4/1, Long-standing maiden who was in the process of running better than for a while when falling last in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 42 days ago, won by Ace Time.
7
3rd (7) (8.5/1 +15%) She's A Rocca
8.5
8.5/1(+15%)
(7) She's A Rocca 8.5/1, Strong in market when winning Ayr bumper on debut in 2019. Has been underwhelming so far over hurdles, though didn't shape too badly both starts back in the autumn. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
8
4th (8) (10/1 +75%) One Step Too Far
10
10/1(+75%)
(8) One Step Too Far 10/1, Fair maiden on Flat up to 1¼m. Showed a bit in a couple of maiden hurdles last spring but has been pulled up both starts in handicaps, including in a first-time tongue strap last time.
4
5th (4) (10/1 -54%) Samatian
10
10/1(-54%)
(4) Samatian 10/1, Well held on his sole outing in bumpers and down the field in maiden/novice hurdles this season. Remains capable of better now handicapping, but he's likely to need further.
11
6th (11) (66/1 -65%) Bryanwood
66
66/1(-65%)
(11) Bryanwood 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat but has shown little in a trio of juvenile hurdles. Tongue strap on for handicap debut.
1
7th (1) (5.5/1 +21%) You Name Him
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(1) You Name Him 5.5/1, Fair maiden who ran no sort of race after 4 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, soft, 17/2) 31 days ago. Plenty to prove despite easing mark.
5
8th (5) (3.5/1 -56%) Ace Time
3.5
3.5/1(-56%)
(5) Ace Time 3.5/1, Thriving of late, landing 2m handicaps at Leicester and Uttoxeter. Has 8 lb rise to overcome but can't be taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.
10
9th (10) (12/1 +52%) Chance Finale
12
12/1(+52%)
(10) Chance Finale 12/1, Won Irish point on debut in December 2018 but well held completed starts over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Catterick when last seen in February. Others preferred.
3
10th (3) (22/1 -100%) Boys Of Wexford
22
22/1(-100%)
(3) Boys Of Wexford 22/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Showed more than first time up over hurdles when seventh in a 2m novice at Warwick in November but failed to back that up at Uttoxeter. Makes handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) Taragrace 10/1, Placed on completed start in Irish points. Best run in mares' novice hurdles when fourth in 2m Bangor novice 15 days ago. Unexposed now handicapping for leading stable.
10
2nd (10) (4.5/1 +31%) Mind Hunter
4.5
4.5/1(+31%)
(10) Mind Hunter 4.5/1, Fair form on Flat for Richard Hannon. Only modest form in juveile hurdles for this yard but has the potential to be very competitve from this lowly mark. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
6
3rd (6) (2.25/1 -50%) Angels Landing
2.25
2.25/1(-50%)
(6) Angels Landing 2.25/1, Fair Flat winner (at 11f) who has been placed on 3 of her 4 starts over hurdles, running her best race when second at Ludlow 18 days ago. Looks well treated on that form now moving into a handicap.
7
4th (7) (22/1 -10%) Overhaugh Street
22
22/1(-10%)
(7) Overhaugh Street 22/1, Fair stayer on Flat (won another handicap in the mud at Chester in October). Won a novice claiming hurdle at Ludlow last month but found it tough switched to handicap company at Plumpton since.
9
5th (9) (40/1 -60%) Motahassen
40
40/1(-60%)
(9) Motahassen 40/1, Modest Flat winner who is related to a winning hurdler, but he has cut little ice in this sphere to date, including a Catterick handicap on New Year's Day. Also well held back on Flat since.
1
6th (1) (4/1 +0%) Yambocharlie
4
4/1(+0%)
(1) Yambocharlie 4/1, Best run over hurdles when 10 lengths sixth of 15 at Warwick in November. Appeals as one who could have more to offer in handicaps. Market support worth noting for yard no stranger to success here.
4
7th (4) (6/1 +14%) Les's Legacy
6
6/1(+14%)
(4) Les's Legacy 6/1, Clear of rest when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (2m, good) in December but he needs to shrug off a poor run at Musselburgh since.
5
8th (5) (40/1 +60%) No Reaction
40
40/1(+60%)
(5) No Reaction 40/1, Modest in bumpers/over hurdles. Pulled up on 2m Uttoxeter handicap debut on New Year's Eve. Hard to fancy.
3
9th (3) (8/1 +20%) Clear On Top
8
8/1(+20%)
(3) Clear On Top 8/1, No better than midfield in bumpers/novice hurdles but handicaps should provide him with a more realistic chance of success.
8
|PU| (8) (50/1 -178%) Sorbonne
50
50/1(-178%)
(8) Sorbonne 50/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1m) who has finished well held in 3 novice hurdles in the autumn. Makes handicap debut in this sphere back from short break.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(9) Flexi Furlough 3.33/1, Bumper winner who has been ultra-consistent in handicap hurdles, another creditable effort when third at Wetherby recently. Should give another good account.
5
2nd (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Steinkraus
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(5) Steinkraus 4.5/1, Doubled his tally in a Ludlow handicap in September and, while not quite in the same form at Hereford next time, he's on the up generally, so he makes plenty of appeal with Peter Kavanagh back on.
6
3rd (6) (25/1 -56%) Heure De Gloire
25
25/1(-56%)
(6) Heure De Gloire 25/1, Won mares' hurdle on sole run in France. Second in juvenile for new yard in March. Hasn't fired so far this term, however.
7
4th (7) (16/1 -88%) Blow By Blow
16
16/1(-88%)
(7) Blow By Blow 16/1, Unreliable type who turned in one of his better efforts when a creditable third of 10 in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last month. Hard to know if he'll arrive in the same form, however.
2
5th (2) (6.5/1 +19%) Gleno
6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(2) Gleno 6.5/1, Better than ever in the spring, gamely landing 3m handicap chase at Chepstow. More miss than hit so far this term but return to hurdling might help.
8
6th (8) (12/1 -85%) Classic Escape
12
12/1(-85%)
(8) Classic Escape 12/1, Lost his way for Dr Richard Newland, but showed he retains some of his spark when fourth in a handicap chase at Catterick recently. Mark is lower in this sphere, so he's one to note.
12
7th (12) (20/1 -100%) Barnay
20
20/1(-100%)
(12) Barnay 20/1, Best of his 4 runs in this sphere when close second in handicap chase at Sedgefield on penultimate outing. Not disgraced at Ayr on latest and headgear switched again for this return to hurdling.
4
8th (4) (33/1 -136%) Court Dreaming
33
33/1(-136%)
(4) Court Dreaming 33/1, Best effort this term when second of 3 at Carlisle in October but he's hard to make a solid case for on the back of a couple of laboured efforts. Blinkers need to perk him up.
1
9th (1) (33/1 -32%) Sammylou
33
33/1(-32%)
(1) Sammylou 33/1, Generally reliable but his two efforts for Fergal O'Brien have been pretty tame, so he arrives with a bit to prove.
11
|U| (11) (7/1 -75%) Get Prepared
7
7/1(-75%)
(11) Get Prepared 7/1, Point winner who showed improved form to get off the mark at Southwell in December and is best excused a lesser effort in testing ground at Huntingdon since. Remains with potential.
3
10th (3) (7/1 +30%) Tedham
7
7/1(+30%)
(3) Tedham 7/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who has been out of sorts (including over fences) since early 2020, so arrives with plenty to prove.
10
|PU| (10) (10/1 +60%) Gibberwell
10
10/1(+60%)
(10) Gibberwell 10/1, Ex-Irish hurdler who landed 2m4f maiden hurdle at Wexford on final run for Brian Jordan. Shaped as if better for the run sent handicapping at Uttoxeter in November, but disappointed at Wetherby since.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
