Races & Results Thursday 6th February 2025
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(8) Star Vantage 7/4, Remains a maiden after 18 runs but he hasn't been with Rebecca Menzies for that long and has shaped encouragingly since stepped up to 3m, pulling clear of the rest when chasing home a stablemate at Southwell on Monday. Big player if coping with the quick turnaround. Maiden; sound runs in handicaps on last 2 starts (2nd at Southwell on Monday); chance.
3
(3) (5/1 +0%) Deep Strato
5
5/1(+0%)
(3) Deep Strato 5/1, Point winner and has shown a bit of potential in a light career under Rules, including when fourth on his 19f Carlisle handicap hurdle debut /reappearance in December. Up in trip now. Winning pointer; best hurdles run when 4th on h'cap debut (2m3f); should improve for 3m.
2
(2) (13/2 -8%) River Voyage
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(2) River Voyage 13/2, Irish point winner but has yet to better modest form in hurdles/chases, looking hard work in first-time blinkers over fences at Ffos Las when last seen in November. Now reverts to hurdling with the headgear off. Winning Irish pointer; fair form over hurdles/fences, including with headgear; more needed.
12
(12) (13/2 -44%) Skin Full
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(12) Skin Full 13/2, Made a reasonable start to his handicap chase career when fourth of 13 over fences at Taunton in November. Didn't come close to justifying strong market support over 2m at Wincanton (chase again) next time but still early days and this significant step up in trip could suit back hurdling. Irish point second; fourth on h'cap/chase debut; interesting upped to 3m back hurdling.
1
(1) (12/1 -9%) Farmer Jimmy
12
12/1(-9%)
(1) Farmer Jimmy 12/1, Well held in 3 qualifying runs around 2m but no surprise were he to prove a different proposition now handicapping over much further. Market support interesting. Third in a bumper; ordinary hurdle runs; improvement likely up in trip on h'cap debut.
7
(7) (12/1 -9%) Newtonian
12
12/1(-9%)
(7) Newtonian 12/1, Got off the mark at Warwick in May and posted solid efforts to twice make the frame in the autumn. Latest Exeter run was disappointing, though. 3m1f Warwick winner in May (good); below par latest (soft); today's going will suit better.
13
(13) (12/1 +0%) One Man Party
12
12/1(+0%)
(13) One Man Party 12/1, Maiden. Shaped better than the bare result after 10 months off (had a second breathing operation) when sixth at Kempton (3m) in November, but failed to build on that back down in trip at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) since. Returns to 3m now. 0-12 over hurdles, but promise on occasions; below par after wind op this term; 5lb wrong.
11
(11) (12/1 +57%) Iturgeon Du Breuil
12
12/1(+57%)
(11) Iturgeon Du Breuil 12/1, Placed in his first 2 handicap hurdles last spring but his form dipped since, including pulling up over fences last twice. It remains to be seen whether a switch back to hurdling helps. Chance on his Hexham 5th in October; not so good since (chasing last twice); new headgear.
5
(5) (14/1 -17%) Inchester D'amsyl
14
14/1(-17%)
(5) Inchester D'amsyl 14/1, Hinted at promise in novice hurdles but made no real progress switched to handicaps last season. First run for 11 months. Exposed; well beaten so far, including in four handicaps; back from a break; best watched.
6
(6) (33/1 -18%) Lizzie Rey
33
33/1(-18%)
(6) Lizzie Rey 33/1, No impact, including pulling up on handicap debut and reappearance at Ludlow in November. Has subsequently had wind surgery. Not shown much (pulled up on h'cap debut); back after a wind op; improvement likely.
14
(14) (33/1 -18%) Windsor Wife
33
33/1(-18%)
(14) Windsor Wife 33/1, Tailed off in maiden/novice hurdles at the end of 2024 but plenty from the stable do take off in handicaps and a point win suggests she has some ability. Cheekpieces go on. Check the betting. Irish point winner; poor over hurdles; headgear tried; 21lb out of the handicap.
10
(10) (50/1 -25%) Of Corse I Can
50
50/1(-25%)
(10) Of Corse I Can 50/1, Second in novice hurdle at Ffos Las in June 2022 but has made little impact since, beaten a long way again in 21.5f Exeter handicap on New Year's Day. Modest hurdler; well beaten this term after 565-day break; others appeal more.
4
(4) (50/1 +0%) Jewel Eyed Judy
50
50/1(+0%)
(4) Jewel Eyed Judy 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't shown much in a pair of handicap starts in recent months. Improvement will be needed. Modest form in bumpers/hurdles (last twice in handicaps); first run at 3m; others stronger.
9
(9) (50/1 +0%) Atlanticexpress
50
50/1(+0%)
(9) Atlanticexpress 50/1, Remains winless and was never better than midfield at Wetherby over Christmas. First-time cheekpieces need to give him something extra. Modest form so far; well behind Star Vantage at Wetherby last time; cheekpieces now tried.
13:00 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
With many of these struggling to find their form and assuming this doesn't come around too quickly, STAR VANTAGE has a golden opportunity to go one place better than his second-placed finish over this trip at Southwell on Monday. Deep Strato has also shown some promise over hurdles and may well improve for stepping up in trip. River Voyage and Skin Full are others to consider.
If STAR VANTAGE doesn't find this coming too soon after Southwell on Monday he's the one to beat. It's possible the step up in trip will see David Pipe's Skin Full in a better light. Similar comments apply to handicap newcomer Farmer Jimmy and he's also on the shortlist along with another unexposed one in Deep Strato.
Although Star Vantage is the one to beat a chance is taken on ITURGEON DU BREUIL who goes in blinkers on his return to hurdling.
(8) Shareyourbiscuits 7/2, Maxios half-brother to fair chaser Smurfette. Noteworthy newcomer. Home-bred by Maxios; half-brother to a 2m4f/3m chase winner; from a top yard; interesting.
1
(1) (4/1 +20%) Smart Decision
4
4/1(+20%)
(1) Smart Decision 4/1, Saw off Wallquatari when making a winning debut over C&D in December and set to better that form (3 lengths down in second) when unseating at the last at Haydock (2m again) just after Christmas. Looks sure to go well. Two good runs over hurdles (won over C&D on debut) and should be thereabouts again.
10
(10) (5/1 +29%) Wallquatari
5
5/1(+29%)
(10) Wallquatari 5/1, Showed some ability before falling on Stratford debut in October and clear of the rest when second to the reopposing Smart Decision over C&D since. Better debut run when second to Smart Decision (7lb worse off) over C&D last time; chance.
3
(3) (11/2 +0%) Intosomethinggood
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(3) Intosomethinggood 11/2, Showed improved form when third of 16 to in listed bumper at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. That suggests he should be up to making an impact over hurdles but he blotted his copybook on his first attempt, running out with a circuit to go. A hood goes on now. Promise in two bumpers; too free and ran out on a bend on hurdles debut; hood now tried.
6
(6) (6/1 +0%) Lundi Noir
6
6/1(+0%)
(6) Lundi Noir 6/1, €60,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Dam, 1½m bumper winner in France, half-sister to fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Gars En Noir. One to note in the betting on debut. 60,000euros 3yo; second foal of a French AQPS Flat winner; interesting newcomer.
7
(7) (6/1 +0%) Mad Maxios
6
6/1(+0%)
(7) Mad Maxios 6/1, Maxios gelding. Dam, pulled up sole start in bumpers, sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stays 2½m) Le Patriote. Newcomer from a good yard. Market support would look significant. 26,000euros foal by Maxios; dam from a good jumping family; market useful guide on debut..
9
(9) (8/1 +20%) The Resdev Tyke
8
8/1(+20%)
(9) The Resdev Tyke 8/1, Strong in the market on his Haydock debut but left with too much ground to make up after being dropped out, coming in 25 lengths third. Definitely capable of better. 15-8 when 25l third on Haydock debut; plenty to find on bare form but better expected.
5
(5) (33/1 +0%) Lautrec De Cougny
33
33/1(+0%)
(5) Lautrec De Cougny 33/1, Half-brother to yard's useful hurdler/chase winner Herbiers but looked badly in need of the experience when 24 lengths last of 7 on in Bangor novice hurdle on debut in November. A tongue tie is added this time. French-bred; last of seven at Bangor on hurdles debut (11-2); tongue-tie now tried.
4
(4) (50/1 0%) L'air Du Large
50
50/1(0%)
(4) L'air Du Large 50/1, Well-held fourth in bumper and hurdle at the end of 2024 but the fact he went off at 7/4 for the bumper suggests he must have shown some promise at home. Fourth in a bumper and a novice hurdle but needs to improve markedly to take this.
13:35 Doncaster Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WALLQUATARI emerged unscathed from a tired fall on his hurdles debut at Stratford in October and posted a more encouraging effort when he filled the runner-up spot over C&D the following month. Donald McCain's charge could be tough to deal with if taking another step forward. Smart Decision looked set for second until he unseated at the last at Haydock most recently and is another who commands attention. Shareyourbiscuits and Mad Maxios are notable debutants to monitor in the betting.
SMART DECISION is taken to confirm December's C&D superiority over Wallquatari, although a strong market move for newcomers from leading yards Mad Maxios and/or Shareyourbiscuits would put a different slant on things.
A chance is taken on the French-bred newcomer LUNDI NOIR making a winning debut. Smart Decision should also run well.
(1) Beau Quali 6/5, Runner-up in a juvenile hurdle in France last March (sole start for David Cottin) and has made the frame all 3 completed starts for present yard. Still firmly on the bridle when falling 3 out at Newcastle last time (jumping was slick prior to that lapse of concentration) and he's a big player. Runner-up three times and going best when falling three out last time; leading claims.
9
(9) (5/2 +29%) Stressfree
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(9) Stressfree 5/2, Useful on the Flat and should improve on encouraging hurdles debut at Catterick where he looked the likeliest winner approaching the final flight before weakening into third in that 5-runner novice. Related to a jumps winner in France and should pick up a race in this sphere before long. Useful on Flat; 3rd on hurdle debut & has obvious scope for improvement if settling better.
14
(14) (5/1 -11%) Timetoshine
5
5/1(-11%)
(14) Timetoshine 5/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in France, successful twice on AW in 2024. Sold out of Fabrice Chappet's yard for €30,000 in November and, with her recent spin on the level at Lingfield likely to have sharpened her up, she's very much of interest for her top yard now switched to hurdles. Useful on the Flat in France and she could play a leading role on hurdle debut.
12
(12) (13/2 +68%) Wotter Trotter
6.5
13/2(+68%)
(12) Wotter Trotter 13/2, From a good jumping family and caught the eye on debut at Huntingdon. Failed to build on that in a Class 3 Newbury event next time but remains one to be positive about, particularly with handicaps likely on the agenda after this. Beau Quali appears to be the stable No 1. Beau Quali looks his top yard's main hope but this fellow has an each-way chance.
6
(6) (16/1 -33%) Natzor
16
16/1(-33%)
(6) Natzor 16/1, Fairly useful handicapper at up to 1½m on the Flat for David O'Meara (sold out of that yard for 22,000 gns), successful twice on AW in 2024, including when last seen in October (since undergone a wind op). Appeals as the type to make his mark in this sphere but this is a tough starting point. Two-time Flat winner who could make a hurdler; not ruled out each-way on stable debut.
11
(11) (16/1 -14%) Wannabe
16
16/1(-14%)
(11) Wannabe 16/1, Fetched €72,000 as a 3-y-o and he's closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Del La Mar Rocket. Interesting to see what the market has to say. 72,000euros 3yo; related to Del La Mar Rocket (RPR 129); market move would be interesting.
10
(10) (16/1 +20%) Supreme George
16
16/1(+20%)
(10) Supreme George 16/1, Irish point recruit who posted best effort under Rules so far when runner-up in a C&D novice at the end of November. Backward step upped to 19.3f at Catterick since and he's another who will probably be better off in handicaps. Fair second over C&D in November; lesser run since; place contender if returning to form.
5
(5) (50/1 -52%) Klapton Boy
50
50/1(-52%)
(5) Klapton Boy 50/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points last spring and chased home an odds-on hotpot on hurdles/Rules debut in 19.7f Wetherby novice in November. There wasn't much depth to that race, though, and he will need to raise his game significantly in order to trouble the principals here. Modest form when 15l second on hurdle debut but open to improvement; each-way possible.
8
(8) (50/1 -25%) Rogue Sea
50
50/1(-25%)
(8) Rogue Sea 50/1, Fairly useful at best on the Flat but well held both starts in that sphere in 2024 and offered little with a first-time hood enlisted (retained) on recent hurdles bow at Newcastle. Lost his way on the Flat and reluctant to race when tailed off on recent hurdle debut.
2
(2) (66/1 +34%) Bold Jury
66
66/1(+34%)
(2) Bold Jury 66/1, Cheap purchase who showed a bit when sixth of 14 on Rules debut in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in December. However, ran out early on at Newcastle next time and looks risky on the back of that. Fair sixth on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter but needs a bigger run today; ran out since.
7
(7) (100/1 +0%) Peerless Percy
100
100/1(+0%)
(7) Peerless Percy 100/1, Modest handicapper on the Flat and this 8-y-o is opposable now switched to hurdles for new yard following a 22-month absence. Two Flat wins in 2021 but out of form in 2023 when last seen; probably best watched.
4
(4) (100/1 +50%) Jersey Stream
100
100/1(+50%)
(4) Jersey Stream 100/1, Hinted at ability when fifth of 12 in a Carlisle novice hurdle on debut in this sphere but subsequent display at Wetherby couldn't be described as a step forward. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Has hinted at promise but he's yet to threaten and may be one for handicaps.
3
(3) (250/1 0%) Dante's Inferno
250
250/1(0%)
(3) Dante's Inferno 250/1, Ran to a fair level first 2 starts in bumpers but well held on final outing last season and he hasn't shown much since returning to action in December. Displayed promise in bumpers in autumn 2023 but has struggled since.
13
(13) (250/1 +0%) Our Rosie
250
250/1(+0%)
(13) Our Rosie 250/1, Down the field in a trio of bumpers and huge step forward needed now switched to hurdles. Hurdle debut; down the field at big odds in all three bumpers.
14:10 Doncaster Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The lightly-raced BEAU QUALI had the race at his mercy when he fell three out at Newcastle last month and can atone for that mishap here. With Tristan Durrell taking over in the saddle and claiming 3lb, Dan Skelton's five-year-old must have a great chance. Stressfree rates the most obvious danger after a promising third on hurdles bow at Catterick last month. Former pointer Klapton Boy can also figure having shown promise at Wetherby on his Rules debut.
BEAU QUALI appeared to have matters firmly under control when exiting at the third-last in a Newcastle maiden last month and he is taken to atone for that mishap here. The clear main danger is Stressfree, a good-quality handicapper on the level who looked the likely winner before running out of steam in the closing stages on his first run over hurdles at Catterick. Timetoshine's three Flat wins were all gained on the all-weather but she is nevertheless respected now sent hurdling.
Timetoshine is an interesting hurdling newcomer for Nicky Henderson but preference is for BEAU QUALI, who sets a good form standard.
(4) Wise Eagle 7/4, Very useful stayer on the Flat who has completed simple tasks returned to this sphere, landing small-field maiden/novice contests at Musselburgh/Catterick with loads in hand. Continued the good work when a solid second on the level last month and further progress likely back hurdling. Easy maiden/novice hurdle wins; obvious potential off opening mark in view of Flat ability.
1
(1) (9/2 +25%) Shanagh Bob
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(1) Shanagh Bob 9/2, Grade 2 Cheltenham novice hurdle winner last term and, following a couple of disappointing runs over fences, he got back on track returned to this sphere when runner-up in 25f Huntingdon handicap with cheekpieces enlisted (discarded here) recently. Not sure that this drop back in trip will be ideal. Back-to-form second at Huntingdon recently; shorter trip today but still respected.
7
(7) (6/1 +8%) Lavida Adiva
6
6/1(+8%)
(7) Lavida Adiva 6/1, Winner of mares' novice at Catterick last winter and added to that when getting on top in the shadow of the post in an Aintree handicap (2½m, soft) on Boxing Day. More needed 4 lb but she should nevertheless make her presence felt. Short-head win at Aintree last time and she could be in the mix once more.
3
(3) (6/1 +14%) American Sniper
6
6/1(+14%)
(3) American Sniper 6/1, Bounced back to best with cheekpieces refitted when gamely landing 4-runner handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) at the start of November. Has followed that with a couple of creditable efforts in defeat and each-way claims off the same mark here. Front-runner; produced some good form towards end of last year and might not be far away.
6
(6) (8/1 +27%) Luttrell Lad
8
8/1(+27%)
(6) Luttrell Lad 8/1, Scored at Cartmel in July 2023 and followed that with several creditable efforts in defeat, including when fourth in an 8-runner Southwell handicap (15.8f, heavy) on New Year's Day. Still, he looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Southwell last time was a step back in the right direction and he could take another today.
2
(2) (8/1 +11%) Persian Time
8
8/1(+11%)
(2) Persian Time 8/1, Won 2 of his first 4 starts over fences last term but ended that campaign on a downer and hasn't shown much spark in handicap chases at Kempton and Ascot this time round. However, wouldn't be without a chance should this switch back to hurdles/first-time blinkers help spark a return to form. On a handy mark but return to hurdles and/or first-time blinkers need to trigger a revival.
8
(8) (14/1 +30%) Bold Reaction
14
14/1(+30%)
(8) Bold Reaction 14/1, Bumper winner who was fair over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Safely held first 3 starts for new yard in handicap chases but returned to form back hurdling when third of 7 in first-time cheekpieces over this C&D recently and, down another 2 lb, he's not without hope. Seems to like it here and was a fair third over C&D last time; each-way chance.
5
(5) (20/1 +0%) Herbiers
20
20/1(+0%)
(5) Herbiers 20/1, Useful handicap hurdler/chaser but lightly raced in recent seasons and there has been little to shout about in his 3 runs since returning from a lengthy absence in November. Now tried in a visor. Has tumbled down the weights but he's struggled this season following a long absence.
14:45 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Reverting to hurdles suited Shanagh Bob when finishing second at Huntingdon a fortnight ago and, dropped in class off 2lb higher, he merits respect. The vote, however, goes to talented Flat performer WISE EAGLE. A commanding winner at both Musselburgh and Catterick before finding one too strong on the level at Newcastle recently, he could be well treated off a mark of 123. American Sniper is another to consider.
With improvement on the cards now pitched into a handicap in this sphere, WISE EAGLE looks the way to go. American Sniper performed with credit when third at Wetherby last time and he is feared most back down in trip here, while Bold Reaction is also shortlisted and Persian Time would be a threat if able to bounce back now returned to this sphere. Shanagh Bob remains lightly-raced but this drop back in trip is of dubious benefit.
Talented Flat performer WISE EAGLE (nap) has posted easy wins in maiden/novice hurdles this term and could be on a good opening mark.
(1) De Tellers Fortune 5/4, Winning Irish pointer who opened hurdles account at the third attempt in maiden at Ffos Las (20f) in May. After 7 months off, took his form up another notch when making successful handicap/chase debut at Taunton (23f, good) in December and he's a leading contender. Irish point winner; two wins this term, latest a novice h'cap on chase debut; contender.
4
(4) (11/4 -10%) Kelce
2.75
11/4(-10%)
(4) Kelce 11/4, Much improved switched to fences with cheekpieces applied, easily getting off the mark in handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft) in December. Looked booked for second when falling at the last at same course (27.6f) last time and he can make another bold bid. Ex-Irish; has run well with cheekpieces on all four starts over fences; stays well; chance.
3
(3) (11/2 +15%) Saladins Son
5.5
11/2(+15%)
(3) Saladins Son 11/2, Runner-up twice over hurdles for Chris Gordon last term and went one better on seasonal/stable debut in a Huntingdon maiden (25f, soft). Pulled up sent chasing at Ffos Las (21.5f, heavy) last time, but it's too early to be writing off this former point winner. Winning Irish pointer; has won a 3m1f maiden hurdle but pulled up on chase debut (heavy).
5
(5) (13/2 +19%) House Of Stories
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(5) House Of Stories 13/2, Point winner who was off 2½ years prior to last season, building on his hurdling debut effort to win a Chepstow maiden (19.5f) last January. However, pulled up in an Exeter handicap (23.1f, heavy) the following month and off again since ahead of his chase bow. Ex-Irish point winner; won maiden hurdle in 2024; off for nearly a year; chase debut.
2
(2) (8/1 -7%) Moon Hunter
8
8/1(-7%)
(2) Moon Hunter 8/1, Winning pointer who was 2-5 over hurdles (including victory here) and didn't shape at all badly on chase debut at Cheltenham last season. However, he has looked rather laboured since, in first-time cheekpieces when last of 3 in handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, good) in November. Winning pointer; dual hurdle winner; not progressed over fences and a bit to prove.
15:20 Doncaster Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
On target over hurdles at Ffos Las last May, connections wasted no time in sending DE TELLERS FORTUNE over a fence. It was only a narrow win which he recorded over 2m7f at Taunton in December, but this longer trip promises to suit and with plenty of scope for improvement, a 6lb rise should be no barrier to success. Kelce was still in contention when coming to grief at the last in the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and is noted along with Saladins Son.
DE TELLERS FORTUNE bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt sent chasing when winning at Taunton on return, form boosted by the runner-up scoring next time, so he looks to hold leading claims with further progress to come. Kelce was in the process of running well when falling on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Saladins Son.
Progressive DE TELLERS FORTUNE has conditions to suit and is taken to beat the thorough stayer Kelce.
(1) Rockola Vogue 9/4, Scored at Hexham in October before a very good second of 8 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, soft) following month. Has more to offer back up in trip now going handicapping. Likely player. Bumper/maiden hurdle winner; begins handicap life on fair mark and is open to improvement.
7
(7) (3/1 +0%) Crystal Glance
3
3/1(+0%)
(7) Crystal Glance 3/1, Won her first 2 starts over hurdles this season and on the up until only fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle (13/8) at Aintree (20f, soft) 42 days ago. Worth another chance. Won two in a row over 2m (including here) but faded into fifth over 2m4f at Aintree latest.
8
(8) (11/2 +21%) She's A Rocca
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(8) She's A Rocca 11/2, Yet to score this term but arrives on the back of a good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Back to form with fair second over 2m at Newcastle; her last win came over 2m4f; chance.
2
(2) (6/1 +33%) Gilbertina
6
6/1(+33%)
(2) Gilbertina 6/1, Course winner but only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Down the field at Market Rasen latest but went close there previously; can't be discounted.
4
(4) (8/1 +0%) Realta Liath
8
8/1(+0%)
(4) Realta Liath 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Below form fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, soft, 7/2) 37 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut with more required. Took backwards step last time but promise previously and she's unexposed; one to consider.
6
(6) (17/2 -6%) Eileen's Orders
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(6) Eileen's Orders 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden who came in a solid third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) 36 days ago. Not taken lightly eased 1 lb. Fair third on handicap debut at Southwell; improvement is required today but it's possible.
3
(3) (10/1 +0%) Could Be Trouble
10
10/1(+0%)
(3) Could Be Trouble 10/1, Returned to winning ways at Hexham (20.1f) in October and posted a good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. One for the shortlist. In and out but ran well when 3rd at Musselburgh latest; in the shake-up if on a going day.
15:55 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Crystal Glance will need to put a below-par fifth at Aintree behind her in order to feature, but her penultimate second behind a subsequent winner at this venue gives her a chance. However, SHE'S A ROCCA returned to form with a solid second over an inadequate 2m1f at Newcastle in December and she looks ready to strike. Handicap debutant Rockola Vogue should appreciate this step back up in distance and also makes the shortlist.
ROCKOLA VOGUE arrives on the up so looks the way to go with this return to further also a likely plus. Crystal Glance fluffed her lines at Aintree last time but remains with potential and could emerge as the main danger, with Could Be Trouble also well worthy of respect.
Handicap newcomer REALTA LIATH wasn't at her best at Warwick last time but looked a nice prospect previously and earns the vote.
(3) Getaway Drumlee 5/2, Has made a good start in this sphere, travelling strongly but collared late on when second of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, soft) 58 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. Runner-up at Fontwell on second run over fences and a first chase win may well be imminent.
8
(8) (3/1 +10%) Wild Side Of Life
3
3/1(+10%)
(8) Wild Side Of Life 3/1, Irish points winner who showed promise over hurdles. Well supported but he fell just before halfway on return/handicap chase debut at Musselburgh (23.6f) in November. Remains with potential. Favourite when falling on chase debut; something to prove but retains potential.
2
(2) (3/1 +40%) Rath Gaul Hill
3
3/1(+40%)
(2) Rath Gaul Hill 3/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after 2m wins at Newbury and Ayr, though looked set for second when left clear 2 out on latter occasion. Off 9 months but still enters calculations. Won 2 in a row over 2m last spring; longer trip on reappearance, but dangerous to discount.
5
(5) (10/1 -11%) Kaituna River
10
10/1(-11%)
(5) Kaituna River 10/1, Shaped well on his chasing debut when runner-up at Southwell but he came in only fourth of 5 in handicap chase (11/4) at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) 35 days ago. Could still do better. Underwhelming last time but could be a contender if tapping back into chase debut promise.
4
(4) (12/1 +0%) New Order
12
12/1(+0%)
(4) New Order 12/1, Got off the mark at Warwick (24f) in December but beat only one at Newbury following month. Worth another chance with few miles still on the clock. Won easily at Warwick then failed to settle when tailed off at Newbury; could bounce back.
9
(9) (12/1 +0%) Jar Du Desert
12
12/1(+0%)
(9) Jar Du Desert 12/1, Fairly useful ex-French 17f chase winner. Not at that level for his current yard and he came in a below-par fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Aintree (25f, soft) 42 days ago. Others more persuasive. Back to form when second at Wetherby in November but only fifth at Aintree since.
6
(6) (14/1 +0%) The Boola Boss
14
14/1(+0%)
(6) The Boola Boss 14/1, Scored at Stratford in the spring but has failed to fire on his last two starts, pulled up at Chepstow on latter occasion. Has something to prove. Won at Stratford last May but out of form on his last two starts in the autumn.
7
(7) (16/1 +0%) Trac
16
16/1(+0%)
(7) Trac 16/1, A three-time winner last season but yet to fire this time around, pulled up in handicap chase at Haydock (19.9f, soft) 38 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Pulled up last time but 3 wins last term; shouldn't be written off after just one poor run.
1
(1) (25/1 +0%) Equinus
25
25/1(+0%)
(1) Equinus 25/1, Fairly useful winner at 25f over hurdles for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Fell 2nd on yard/chasing debut in handicap chase at Aintree (25f, good) 89 days ago. Needs to bounce back. On a competitive mark on his best hurdle form but it's been a while since he's run well.
16:30 Doncaster Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The progressive Rath Gaul Hill ended his last campaign by completing a double at Ayr and a 4lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. The market may guide on the seven-year-old's return from a 293-day absence and GETAWAY DRUMLEE is slightly more compelling. Ben Pauling's charge has posted two creditable efforts in defeat over fences this season and Callum Pritchard's 5lb claim should really help him. The downgraded Jar Du Desert is also noted.
Plenty are in with a shout but GETAWAY DRUMLEE rates the pick of the weights on the back of his Fontwell second last time out so gets the vote. Wild Side of Life fell on his chasing bow at Musselburgh but brings some potential and is next on the list, while both New Order and Kaituna River also need considering in an open contest.
The 9yo GETAWAY DRUMLEE is lightly raced for his age and can get off the mark over fences having shown promise in his first two chases.

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.
