17:10 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 2/1 (6) KITTYKARMA seems to be the most promising horse with steady progress and potential to improve over further distances. 2.25/1 (7) ATWATER NINE also shows potential as a filly with definite ability and signs of promise in her previous starts, but the market should be a useful guide. 2.25/1 (5) TULEKYA and 8/1 (8) VALSTAR are less likely to perform well with 2.25/1 (5) TULEKYA having only shown signs of possible improvement with headgear and 8/1 (8) VALSTAR being lightly-raced and likely best watched on return.

KLIMOVA made a promising switch to handicap company when second behind a subsequent dual winner at Wolverhampton in November. She is fancied to make a successful stable debut for Kevin Philippart De Foy, although Totnes could pose a big threat on her return to turf following a disappointing run on Tapeta earlier this month. Kittykarma makes her reappearance following a fair fourth at Pontefract in the autumn and completes the shortlist.

KLIMOVA continued her theme of race-by-race progress when runner-up on nursery debut at Wolverhampton in November and, having changed hands for 48,000 gns since, she's expected to make a bold bid returned to turf. Totnes promises to do better still and is feared, along with the returning Kittykarma.

Kevin Philippart De Foy has a strong hand with KLIMOVA, who has her first start for the yard, and Tulekya who now wears headgear.

17:40 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

3/1 (3) RHYTHM On is predicted to do well as she has completed a hat-trick on her recent reappearance at Newcastle, and with a further 3lb rise, she has a good chance of landing a 4-timer. 4/1 (5) LITTLE MUDDY and 5.5/1 (1) MISS BELLA BRAND also have a chance, as they have both won recently and are proven on turf. 6.5/1 (2) ROSHAMBO and 14/1 (6) CLOSE QUARTERS may be worth keeping an eye on, as they are relatively unexposed and could improve with their respective yards. The rest of the field seems to have poor recent form and may struggle in this race.

There has been no stopping RHYTHM of late and Ruth Carr's five-year-old made a pleasing return to action when successful by half a length at Newcastle earlier this month. She is fancied to transfer that form to this surface, even though she is rated 8lb above her last winning turf mark. Recent course winner Little Muddy remains of interest stepping up from 5f, while Roshambo completes the shortlist.

RHYTHM picked up where she left off 6 months ago when completing the hat-trick under Jo Mason at Newcastle recently and, successful from a higher mark in the past, a bold bid to land the 4-timer is on the cards. Little Muddy was a good winner herself on return over 5f here 4 weeks ago and she's a threat, along with the returning Roshambo. Low-mileage filly Close Quarters is also worth keeping an eye on.

The Ruth Carr stable continues to click along nicely and RHYTHM is taken to defy the handicapper again and make it four in a row.

18:15 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary provided, the 1.63/1 (2) NOVATION colt and the 3.33/1 (1) BATTAAH colt seem to have the most appeal on paper, with strong breeding and a yard that has performed well with 2-year-olds in the past. However, it is always important to watch the market and see if there is any significant betting support for any of the horses, as this can often be a good indicator of their chances.

This could go the way of 150,000-euro yearling purchase SIOUX WARRIOR, who boasts an appealing pedigree and is a half-brother to classy sprinter Royal Aclaim. He can get off the mark at the first time of asking, but Novation's dam was Group-placed during her career and the son of Havana Grey can give the selection plenty to think about. Lingo Lady also warrants a market check.

The betting could be revealing for this newcomers event, with NOVATION, Sioux Warrior and Ziggy's Dream the three put forward before market clues.

The Richard Hannon stable sent out subsequent Molecomb winner Armor to take this on debut in 2021 so the suggestion is BATTAAH.

18:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (2) STERLING KNIGHT seems like a strong contender as he has won on slow ground in his last two runs and has a good track record of five wins from 19 Flat runs. His career-best win at Haydock when he was last seen also suggests that he is in good form. 7/1 (3) TINTO also has a chance if he can improve from his last run and put his best foot forward, as he is well-suited to the course and has a reduced mark. 2.5/1 (6) BERNARDO O'REILLY is another horse to watch, having won his last race and being a C&D winner, but the 3lb increase in weight may affect his performance. 6.5/1 (1) MAGICAL SPIRIT and 12/1 (4) GHATHANFAR seem less likely to win, having previously struggled in heavy conditions and showing some vulnerability. 14/1 (9) ROACH POWER, 14/1 (8) SEVEN BROTHERS, and 18/1 (7) RATHBONE also have something to prove or have been out of the game for a while, making them less favorable contenders.

Patiently ridden at Newbury last week, BERNARDO O'REILLY kept on well off a strong pace to land the spoils. He has gone up 3lb for that success, but that may not be enough to stop him having a say in proceedings here. However, Sterling Knight arrives in search of a hat-trick having notched up a brace of Haydock victories at the end of last season and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Rathbone can't be ruled out either.

STERLING KNIGHT ended last season on the up, bagging back-to-back Haydock handicaps over this trip, and he is taken to pick up where he left off by completing the hat-trick. A 3 lb rise for Bernardo O'Reilly's reappearance success at Newbury doesn't look excessive and he's a player. However, Tinto wasn't beaten far off a higher mark than this in a major sprint handicap last season and he is second choice.

Ed Dunlop's 4yo STERLING KNIGHT won at Haydock in his final two runs last term and is a big player if he can pick up where he left off.

19:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to make a definite prediction based on the summary as it provides information on multiple horses with varying levels of success and form. However, some horses with recent wins and good form on their preferred surfaces may be worth considering, such as 6.5/1 (1) LUNAR JET, 5/1 (2) DOWN TO THE KID, and 3/1 (5) DIVINE COMEDY.

LUNAR JET broke a drought when scoring at Redcar recently, and a subsequent 3lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Recent Southwell scorer Down To The Kid might not be far away on this switch to turf, along with Divine Comedy, who was in winning form when beating Eye Knee at Redcar when last seen. Iconique is another to note.

An open-looking contest with the vote in favour of DIVINE COMEDY. A low-mileage mare, she made it 2 wins from 4 starts last year when successful at Redcar in October (final start for Chris Wall) and it's possible she can rate higher still this campaign. Daaris is less exposed than most and is a danger, along with Redcar scorer Lunar Jet. Dundory is also worth keeping an eye on back on turf.

The return to turf and cheekpieces may well see DUNDORY take advantage of a reduced mark. Divine Comedy and Lunar Jet are next.

19:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to make a definite prediction based on this summary, as there are several horses with potential to do well. However, 7/1 (8) TIMEWAVE stands out as he has won his last two handicaps and is in good form. He also has experience on both turf and synthetic surfaces. 9/1 (7) DANCING GYPSY and 7/1 (2) ROOST could also be contenders, as they have both shown promise in recent races.

Dancing Gypsy has a 9lb pull in the weights with Timewave for defeat of less than a length at Kempton in January, and is fancied to reverse that form. However, preference is still for ANOTHER RUN, who can be forgiven his latest effort at Leicester due to the heavy ground. With conditions likely to be much more in his favour, and if able to perform to the level of his penultimate run when second behind Maasai Mara at Kempton, he could go very close on his handicap debut.

ANOTHER RUN likely struggled with the very testing conditions at Leicester on his return and he appeals as the type to make a better 3-y-o, so he's preferred to Timewave, who arrives on the up. Moush should bounce back from a disappointing run and he's also considered.

It's worth sticking with the progressive TIMEWAVE (nap), who made it 2-3 in handicaps with his eased-down win at Southwell.

20:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

HIGHFIELD VIKING looks a fascinating contender on his handicap debut. He is a half-brother to the stable's multiple Group 1 winner Highfield Princess, and has been gelded since last seen. His bare form is nothing to write home about, but he steps down to a sprinting distance for the first time. His stablemate We'renotreallyhere struck at Catterick earlier in the month and is respected after being put up 3lb, while Storm Fox and Trabajo Detecho are others to consider.

WE'RENOTREALLYHERE showed improved form and a good attitude to score at Catterick and he's fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Trabajo Detecho, who arrives in search of his third win in 2023. Mereside Diva makes most appeal of those making their handicap debuts and can complete the placings.

The suggestion is WE'RENOTREALLYHERE, who came good with a front-running win in the mud at Catterick two weeks ago.
