Races & Results Saturday 1st June 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Plus Point 9/4, Won back-to-back races switched to handicaps last year. Upped in trip, didn't build on her encouraging return when fourth of 7 at Goodwood (16f, soft, 5/1) 28 days ago. Remains capable of better back down in distance. 2m stretched her last time; on the up over 1m4f on slow going beforehand; strong contender.
7
2nd (7) (5/1 +17%) My Chiquita
5
5/1(+17%)
(7) My Chiquita 5/1, Fair perfomer on the Flat who won back-to-back races sent hurdling in October. Good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft, 5/1) 15 days ago, so she's an interesting contender as she returns to the level. In good form over hurdles of late; still has potential on Flat; drying ground would help.
4
3rd (4) (5/2 -25%) Rogue Tornado
2.5
5/2(-25%)
(4) Rogue Tornado 5/2, After 8 months off, made his first start since leaving Tom Clover a winning one when landing 8-runner handicap (3/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good) 3 weeks ago, holding on gamely. Can give another good account back up in trip. Progressive last summer; improved to make a winning stable debut last month; lots to like.
1
4th (1) (3/1 -20%) Churchella
3
3/1(-20%)
(1) Churchella 3/1, Recorded a third win of the year when opening her turf account in 10-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D (firm) 2 weeks ago, produced to lead final 100 yds. Respected in her current form. Won five of last ten, smooth over C&D last time; slower than good ground would be a worry.
3
5th (3) (14/1 -40%) Story Horse
14
14/1(-40%)
(3) Story Horse 14/1, Took a step forward when runner-up on final 2 starts last year. However, after 4 months off he was possibly unsuited by conditions when eleventh of 16 in handicap at this course (11.9f, soft, 12/1) 36 days ago. Up in trip. Ended 2023 on the up but flopped on soft here on his return; stamina for 1m6f not assured.
5
6th (5) (28/1 -12%) Achnamara
28
28/1(-12%)
(5) Achnamara 28/1, After 4 months off, never dangerous when 10¼ lengths eighth of 10 to the reopposing Churchella in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (firm) 2 weeks ago. Mark continues to fall but more needed to take advantage. Struggled for current stable and beaten over 10l by Churchella here last time; opposable.
6
7th (6) (40/1 -43%) Kalikapour
40
40/1(-43%)
(6) Kalikapour 40/1, In first-time visor, failed to come on much at all for his seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 6 in handicap (50/1) at Redcar (10f, soft) 30 days ago. Others preferred as he goes up in trip. 1m AW win in Ireland as a 2yo; well beaten for new yard; big step up in distance today.
16:38 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Four-time all-weather scorer Churchella confirmed herself on the upgrade with a maiden turf success over C&D last time out but a 6lb rise may leave her vulnerable to ROGUE TORNADO. James Owen has his team in scintillating form right now and there should be more to come from his lightly-raced four-year-old, who has only been raised 3lb for winning on his stable debut at Leicester. Plus Point looks the pick of the remainder.
Having won her first 2 starts in handicaps last season, PLUS POINT wasn't quite in the same form as on her reappearance when fourth at Goodwood on her latest outing, but she is well worth another chance as she drops back down in trip. Churchella has been thriving of late and isn't taken lightly, with Rogue Tornado also in the mix.
James Owen's horses are flying at present and Leicester winner ROGUE TORNADO (nap) can make it 2-2 for his new trainer.
(6) Cressida Wildes 50/1, Foaled February 17. 28,000 gns foal, Showcasing filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Onigiri. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful 6f-7f winner Compton Park. 28,000gns foal; by Showcasing; yard is 0-6 (none placed) with 2yos this season.

18
18/1(-50%)
(13) Twafeeg 18/1, Foaled April 1. 65,000 gns yearling, Far Above filly. Half-sister to 5f winner She Can Boogie and 2-y-o 5f winner Corazon, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Of interest on debut. 65,000gns yearling; pedigree suggests she may need a sharper test.
3

2.25

Promising fifth in novice at Newmarket (5f, 12/1) on debut 27 days ago, getting hang of things late on. Up in trip. Likely to improve.

11
11/1(-10%)
(1) Alice Fairfax 11/1, Foaled February 15. Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Subaltern. Dam 1m winner. Dam is closely related to Dubawi; notable connections; interesting newcomer.

6.5
13/2(-8%)
(2) Alondra 13/2, 9,000 gns foal, £52,000 yearling, Sergei Prokofiev filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Harvanna. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). Encouragement amid greenness when fifth of 12 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good, 8/1) on debut 15 days ago. Open to progress. Close fifth at Newmarket, doing well considering the race didn't go smoothly.
10
6th (10) (7/1 -27%) Never Forget You
7
7/1(-27%)
(10) Never Forget You 7/1, 60,000 gns yearling, 160,000 gns 2-y-o, No Nay Never filly. Sister to 2-y-o 8.6f winner Cadogan Gardens, closely related to 1m-1¼m winner Cavalluccio. 2/1, second of 3 in maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft) on debut 10 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip.

(9) Make Love 15/2, Foaled April 26. €26,000 foal, 27,000 gns yearling, Make Believe filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Piz Nair. Dam, 1m winner, closely related to smart winner up to 1½m Highest Ground. 27,000gns yearling; Make Believe half-sister to a 6f winner; check the betting.

33
33/1(-136%)
(11) Realise The Dream 33/1, Foaled February 15. 27,000 gns yearling, Magna Grecia filly. Dam unraced out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Indigo River. 27,000gns yearling; by Magna Grecia; market instructive.
7
9th (7) (18/1 +28%) Hackney Diamonds
18
18/1(+28%)
(7) Hackney Diamonds 18/1, Foaled January 29. 20,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Damaar. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to Gold Cup/dual Irish St Leger winner Order of St George. 20,000gns yearling; by Camelot; stable is 0-8 with 2yos this term.
4
10th (4) (66/1 -32%) Aye Up Lass
66
66/1(-32%)
(4) Aye Up Lass 66/1, Sergei Prokofiev filly. Half-sister to 7f-1m winner Time To Rumble. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner). 33/1, sixth of 7 in novice at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 13 days ago. Needs to improve sharply on her Ripon effort.
5
11th (5) (80/1 -21%) Cassandraalexandra
80
80/1(-21%)
(5) Cassandraalexandra 80/1, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 6f winner Shanghai Glory and useful winner up to 1¼m Choose Me. Dam 1¼m winner. 40/1, last of 10 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good) on debut 14 days ago. Failed to beat a rival in Newmarket event.
8
12th (8) (200/1 -100%) Magical Florence
200
200/1(-100%)
(8) Magical Florence 200/1, Foaled April 11. €3,500 yearling, Ribchester filly. Dam 6f winner. 3,500euros yearling; yard isn't associated with winning newcomers.
17:08 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Any market move for the Crisfords' expensive Breeze-up purchase Arabian Dusk would have to be considered significant here, but ALONDRA could take some stopping regardless. Not unsupported ahead of her debut over 6f at Newmarket, Charlie Hills' filly was arguably the one to take out of the race having kept on strongly to finish fifth after a trouble-strewn passage. Ripple Effect and Never Forget You are others capable of taking a step forward from their respective debuts.
The Crisfords won this last year with a big-money breeze-up buy and can do so again with ARABIAN DUSK, who fetched 525,000 guineas at the Craven Breeze-Ups in April. Ripple Effect, Alondra and Never Forget You all shaped well first-time up so they head the dangers.
The form choice is RIPPLE EFFECT, while Arabian Dusk is a particularly interesting newcomer.
(7) Amsterdam 50/1, Offered something to work on having shown his inexperience when sixth of 12 in minor event (28/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut 6 months ago, not knocked about. Should do better, but this looks a warm race. Open to progress on the back of AW debut sixth last autumn but this is a hot race.
5
1st (5) (11/1 -29%) Socialite
11
11/1(-29%)
(5) Socialite 11/1, Too Darn Hot colt who was relatively unfancied in the betting given the excellent form of his yard but was able to overcome greenness to make a winning start in 14-runner maiden at Leicester (7f, good) 3 weeks ago. Looks sure to progress. Form of 7f debut success boosted in recent days; could be useful.
4
2nd (4) (5/6 +56%) King's Gamble
0.833333
5/6(+56%)
(4) King's Gamble 5/6, Kingman colt who looked potentially useful in making a winning start in a 6f Newmarket novice last August. Improved significantly on that form when 2 lengths third of 10 to Lake Forest in Gimcrack Stakes at York (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks later and not seen since. Leading player on return. Debut win before third in Gimcrack; sets the bar high back in a novice on return.
10
3rd (10) (12/1 +14%) Stanage
12
12/1(+14%)
(10) Stanage 12/1, Failed to progress as expected from debut when fifth of 19 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 4/1) 15 days ago. Has plenty about him physically, but it could be handicaps where he flourishes. Third on C&D debut (soft) and achieved more when 5th of 19 at Newbury since; more to come.
11
4th (11) (18/1 -29%) Surrey Shadow
18
18/1(-29%)
(11) Surrey Shadow 18/1, 20/1, produced a promising first effort when second of 11 in minor event at this C&D (soft) just over 5 weeks ago, seeing off the rest though making no impression on winner. Likely to improve. Finished 2l in front of reopposing Stanage when promising second on his C&D debut.
3
5th (3) (5/1 -11%) Aramram
5
5/1(-11%)
(3) Aramram 5/1, Blue Point colt who was heavily backed after 8 months and was much improved from debut (had a breathing operation in the interim) when impressively winning 12-runner minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Will go on improving and looks sure to win more races. Had wind op prior to readily making all over 6f at Nottingham recently; promising.
6
6th (6) (10/1 -100%) Run Away
10
10/1(-100%)
(6) Run Away 10/1, €2,600,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly who was easy to back despite the stable going very well but knew what was required to make a winning start in 12-runner maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good, 7/1) just under 5 weeks ago, displaying a fine attitude. Sure to improve. Sister to Group 1 winner; held on gamely on 7f Yarmouth debut and the second has won since.
2
7th (2) (66/1 -371%) Shamardal Star
66
66/1(-371%)
(2) Shamardal Star 66/1, Offered little when a well-beaten second in 3-runner newcomers bumper at Fakenham in November but showed ability against a field of 3-y-os when second of 6 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft, 28/1) last month. This significantly tougher. Well-held second in bumper but shaped well when second in C&D maiden last month.
8
8th (8) (5/1 +58%) Granger Bay
5
5/1(+58%)
(8) Granger Bay 5/1, €450,000 New Bay colt who turned in a highly promising first effort when second of 12 in minor event (6/1) at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 7 months ago. One to look out for with a winter on his back. Promising second on Yarmouth debut last autumn; entered in Group 1; sure to improve.
9
9th (9) (200/1 -203%) Mudhafar
200
200/1(-203%)
(9) Mudhafar 200/1, Went backwards from debut after 9 months off when eleventh of 18 in minor event (33/1) at this course (6f, firm) 2 weeks ago. Needs another run for a mark. Well held on 6f course return two weeks ago and likely to be one for handicaps after this.
1
10th (1) (200/1 -100%) Robespierre
200
200/1(-100%)
(1) Robespierre 200/1, 100,000 gns yearling, 6,000 gns 3-y-o, Showcasing gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Yucatan out of Prix Jacques le Marois/Breeders' Cup Mile winner Six Perfections. Massive outsider. Would be a shock winner on debut.
17:40 Doncaster Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A strong-looking contest in which Socialite and Run Away both have to be considered after making winning starts, particularly the latter who fetched 2,600,000 euros as a yearling. All that said, KING'S GAMBLE may have too much if building on his smart juvenile form which saw him land a Newmarket maiden before finishing third in the Gimcrack at York. A step up to 7f should only improve him and this could be a stepping stone towards going up to the highest level at Royal Ascot, with the son of Kingman boasting an entry in the St James's Palace.
A valuable novice chock-full with potential and it's KING'S GAMBLE who gets the vote to come out on top having produced a couple of highly promising efforts when last seen 9 months ago. Aramram landed a few tidy bets on return at Nottingham 3 weeks ago and he could be the one to give the selection most to do, with Run Away and Socialite both first-time-out winners who are open to improvement, also.
Plenty of nice prospects in this valuable novice but last year's Gimcrack third KING'S GAMBLE still rather stands out.
(4) Wild Waves 11/4, Hooded for 1st time, showed improved form to get off the mark when winning 7-runner handicap at Kempton (12f, 7/2) 31 days ago, seeming to relish the increased stamina test. Open to further improvement granted an even greater test. Won going away on 1m4f Kempton debut; capable of better up in trip again.
6
2nd (6) (4/1 +50%) East India Dock
4
4/1(+50%)
(6) East India Dock 4/1, Took another big step forward to get off the mark with testing conditions evidently ideal for him in 5-runner handicap (5/2) at Salisbury (12f, heavy) 16 days ago, plenty in hand. Upped further in trip and will go on improving. Drew readily clear for 9l success at Salisbury; even a 12lb rise may not stop him.
5
3rd (5) (6/1 +25%) Ghostlore
6
6/1(+25%)
(5) Ghostlore 6/1, 15/8 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, probably didn't need to improve to get off the mark upped further in trip in 7-runner minor event at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Opening mark suffered a little for that, but he's open to further progress. Wide-margin novice winner latest and should have more to come in handicaps.
7
4th (7) (12/1 +0%) Open Secret
12
12/1(+0%)
(7) Open Secret 12/1, 5/2, not in same for as first 2 starts on all-weather when third of 6 in minor event at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago, leaving the impression he'd have benefited from setting a stronger gallop. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Placed all three starts in novices and yard does well in these sort of races.
2
5th (2) (15/2 -88%) Sam Hawkens
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(2) Sam Hawkens 15/2, 4/9, has improved with each run and confirmed previous promise to get off the mark in 4-runner maiden at Salisbury (12f, heavy) 27 days ago, responding well. Likely to go on improving as his stamina is drawn out further, he could well feature on handicap debut. Made all in 1m4f Salisbury maiden (heavy) four weeks ago; should have more to offer.
8
6th (8) (9/1 +10%) Tokyo Bay
9
9/1(+10%)
(8) Tokyo Bay 9/1, Winner at Ripon in April. Not disgraced when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at York (11.8f, good, 14/1) 16 days ago, despite looking short of pace on less testing ground. Up in trip. Not taken lightly. Won maiden on heavy; stayed on late for fourth on 1m4f handicap and this trip should help.
1
7th (1) (4/1 -100%) High Order
4
4/1(-100%)
(1) High Order 4/1, Completed a simple task with loads in hand when winning 6-runner minor event (2/9) at Southwell (12.1f) 33 days ago, unchallenged. Upped further in trip for his handicap bow (with cheekpieces added) and in excellent hands, he will go on improving. Leading claims. Made all with ease over 1m4f on AW; cheekpieces on for handicap debut; more to come.
3
8th (3) (40/1 -122%) Peace Walk
40
40/1(-122%)
(3) Peace Walk 40/1, Attracted support on his handicap bow after 6 months off but didn't give his running upped markedly in trip when last of 5 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) just under 6 weeks ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind stepped up further in distance. Disappointing start to handicap career on AW but still early days for leading stable.
18:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
HIGH ORDER proved too classy for the opposition when getting off the mark at Southwell and the son of Frankel makes plenty of appeal on paper. With further improvement to come and a step up in distance to potentially aid his cause, he can defy an opening mark of 95. Ghostlore got his career up and running with a decisive triumph at Thirsk last time and has to be respected, while East India Dock is another to consider.
HIGH ORDER is a colt firmly on the up, so John & Thady Gosden's charge gets the vote to make a winning start to life in handicaps before potentially heading to Royal Ascot later this month. Wild Waves seemed to relish the increased stamina test when scoring on his handicap bow at Kempton recently, so he's put forward as the main threat granted an even greater test, with East India Dock taken to edge out Ghostlore for third.
There was a lot to like about the way WILD WAVES stretched clear late on at Kempton and he can follow up.
(4) Silver Samurai 12/1, C&D winner who ran well on his return from 4 months off when second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 9/1) in January, meeting trouble on more than one occasion. Absent again since but he's one to consider. Last three wins at 6f but scored over C&D three years ago; not dismissed.
10
2nd (10) (11/4 +21%) Yorkshire
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(10) Yorkshire 11/4, After 7 months off, did well under circumstances when dead-heating for first in 10-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 11/4) 2 weeks ago, denied a run 2f out. Remains lightly raced for his age and he's a major player. Forced a dead-heat at Thirsk on reappearance, taking turf record to 2-4; respected.
13
3rd (13) (8/1 +33%) Hectic
8
8/1(+33%)
(13) Hectic 8/1, Twelve runs since his sole success on debut. However, returned to form when fourth of 20 in handicap (16/1) at York (7f, good) 15 days ago. On a handy mark if he can build on his latest effort. Steadily finding his form for new yard this term; interesting off a reduced mark.
9
4th (9) (11/4 +31%) Pearle D'or
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(9) Pearle D'or 11/4, Shaped much better than result when tenth of 21 in Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good to firm, 9/2) 3 weeks ago, having to switch into centre of track 2f out. Can make his presence felt back down in grade. Only midfield when favourite for the Victoria Cup but may rebound in this grade.
6
5th (6) (25/1 +11%) Master Richard
25
25/1(+11%)
(6) Master Richard 25/1, Returned to turf after 6 months off, ran one his lesser races when twelfth of 17 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 50/1) 16 days ago. Back down in grade but others still more persuasive. Both turf wins at York; seemed to need his reappearance run there last month.
5
6th (5) (10/1 +29%) Havana Blue
10
10/1(+29%)
(5) Havana Blue 10/1, After 7 months off (gelded), possibly needed the run on first start since leaving Clive Cox when eighth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 28/1) 44 days ago. Needs to get back on the up having had a wind op. Had wind surgery since his midfield effort on stable/seasonal debut; may do better.
12
7th (12) (33/1 -32%) Swiss Ace
33
33/1(-32%)
(12) Swiss Ace 33/1, Found it tougher back up in grade when seventh of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 20 days ago. Others preferred as he makes his first turf start of the year. All wins for current yard in Class 4 events at Newcastle; others preferred.
8
8th (8) (11/1 +50%) Quest For Fun
11
11/1(+50%)
(8) Quest For Fun 11/1, Failed to build on promise of previous run when fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 16/1) 2 weeks ago. However, no surprise to see him fare better returned to this lower grade. Regressive results in 2024 but this drop back in class may prompt a turnaround.
11
9th (11) (25/1 +0%) Tactical
25
25/1(+0%)
(11) Tactical 25/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Ended last season out of form and fared no better on his reappearance when fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 33/1) 28 days ago. Visor now reached for. Formerly smart; on a long losing spell but the different headgear may help.
2
10th (2) (18/1 -100%) Grand Traverse
18
18/1(-100%)
(2) Grand Traverse 18/1, After a 10-month absence, made a winning handicap/British debut at Newcastle in March. Not in the same form both starts since, seventh of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Ascot (6f, good) 22 days ago, but it still remains early days. Campaigned over 6f for new yard, winning AW event then disappointing back on turf.
1
11th (1) (9/1 +25%) Maywake
9
9/1(+25%)
(1) Maywake 9/1, Successful at Thirsk and Sandown last season. Soon left behind a below-par effort when third of 10 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D (heavy) on final start of the campaign. Has run well fresh in the past so he could be thereabouts. Consistent sort; absent since finishing third off this mark over C&D last October.
7
12th (7) (28/1 -75%) Wild Side
28
28/1(-75%)
(7) Wild Side 28/1, Won 4 times last year, including at Southwell in December. After 12 weeks off, last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 6/1) 64 days ago. found to be coughing post race. Had been in good form previously so she could bounce back. Had an excuse for heavy defeat on latest AW start; tough mark back on turf.
3
13th (3) (40/1 -186%) Kingentleman
40
40/1(-186%)
(3) Kingentleman 40/1, Useful performer at best, winning 3 times at Chantilly in 2022. Well below form all 3 starts last year, but he's not written off as he goes handicapping on first run for yard after leaving P. & J. Brandt. Wears tongue strap. Ex-French horse; lost his form in 2023; market helpful on debut for new stable.
18:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Silver Samurai returned from a 117-day break to fill the runner-up spot at Kempton in January and is one to consider off a 1lb higher rating back on turf. However, the vote goes to YORKSHIRE, who forced a dead-heat in this grade at Thirsk a fortnight ago and he is only 2lb higher for that victory. Edward Bethell's yard is in fine form at present and the four-year-old could be the one to beat. Maywake and Kingentleman, who sports a first-time tongue-tie, are just a couple of others to consider.
YORKSHIRE resumed his progress after 7 months off when sharing the spoils at Thirsk a fortnight ago, despite having met trouble in running, and he could still have more to offer this year. He is taken to get the better of Pearle d'Or, who wasn't seen to best effect at Ascot on his latest outing, while Quest For Fun is also one to note.
Judged on his direction of travel for new connections, HECTIC may be the answer. Pearle d'Or is second choice.
(3) Mountain Peak 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but wasn't disgraced after 7 months off when sixth of 12 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good) 39 days ago. Now a stone below last winning mark; needs good/firmer ground.
12
(12) (40/1 +0%) Never Dark
40
40/1(+0%)
(12) Never Dark 40/1, Last of 12 in handicap (100/1) at York (5f, good) on return last week. Needs to leave that well behind. Failed to beat a rival in last three appearances; big rebound is needed.
6
1st (6) (6/1 +57%) Hiya Maite
6
6/1(+57%)
(6) Hiya Maite 6/1, Latest win at Southwell in December. Tenth of 12 in handicap at York (5f, good, 10/1) 7 days ago. Has yet to find his form this year. Unconvincing form in Class 2 events this term; drops back in grade.
13
2nd (13) (9/1 -13%) Brave Nation
9
9/1(-13%)
(13) Brave Nation 9/1, C&D winner who was too free when down the field in big-field handicap at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Has work to do. Ties in with The Ridler on 2022 Norfolk form; current mark is attractive.
1
3rd (1) (12/1 -9%) Arecibo
12
12/1(-9%)
(1) Arecibo 12/1, Unreliable individual who went close to ending a long losing run on his return/stable debut at Musselburgh but ran below form at York (5f, good, 18/1) 16 days ago. Bounce back required. Has failed to build on reappearance effort; on a three-year losing spell.
2
4th (2) (6/1 +0%) Jer Batt
6
6/1(+0%)
(2) Jer Batt 6/1, 5/1, ran below form when twelfth of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on final outing last June. Off since but is capable of fresh, so well worth a second look. Remains of interest, granted suitable conditions (may need softer than good on turf).
9
5th (9) (17/2 -55%) Burning Cash
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(9) Burning Cash 17/2, C&D winner who bounced back to form to win 11-runner handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago, keeping on well. 3 lb rise fair and another good run can't be ruled out. Capable of following up his Thirsk win; defied higher marks twice over C&D in 2022.
11
6th (11) (9/2 +44%) Mountain Warrior
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(11) Mountain Warrior 9/2, Latest win at Southwell in January and ran well trying this trip for the first time when second of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Enters calculations. Good second dropped to 5f at Carlisle last time; unexposed at this trip; respected.
8
7th (8) (10/1 +0%) Glamorous Breeze
10
10/1(+0%)
(8) Glamorous Breeze 10/1, 3/1, confirmed return to form when third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. In decent form; competitively weighted off last winning mark; not dismissed.
7
8th (7) (10/1 +17%) Muker
10
10/1(+17%)
(7) Muker 10/1, 9/1, shaped well when 4 lengths fifth of 11 to Burning Cash in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago, never nearer. Shortlist material. Made promising late progress in the Thirsk event won by Burning Cash; possibilities.
10
9th (10) (9/1 +36%) Princess Karine
9
9/1(+36%)
(10) Princess Karine 9/1, Ran out a wide-margin winner at Pontefract in May but not quite at that level both outings subsequently. All wins in single-figure fields; this scenario is not ideal.
14
10th (14) (16/1 +0%) Rambuso Creek
16
16/1(+0%)
(14) Rambuso Creek 16/1, 22/1, looked and shaped as if in need of the run when twelfth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 7 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Cheekpieces back on. Returns to optimum distance but this isn't his ideal grade.
5
11th (5) (25/1 -25%) The Ridler
25
25/1(-25%)
(5) The Ridler 25/1, Visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (5f). Off 6 months. Returns with plenty to prove. Appears well handicapped if gelding operation prompts a revival; won the Norfolk in 2022.
4
12th (4) (12/1 +33%) Spoof
12
12/1(+33%)
(4) Spoof 12/1, Made more impact than previously this year when fourth of 12 in handicap at York (5f, good, 66/1) last week. Good-value 7-lb claimer now takes over in the saddle and he's of interest. Fighting chance provided latest effort is backed up; 2lb below last winning mark.
19:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Mountain Warrior did well to only be denied by just under a length into second at Carlisle last time and, with a clearer passage, he ought to go close. However, he could come out second best to SPOOF, who stayed on well to finish fourth at York last Saturday, faring best of those held up, and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 2lb for that display. Burning Cash and Jer Batt could also get involved.
SPOOF made more impact than previously this season when fourth at York last week and, with a good-value 7-lb claimer now taking over in the saddle, he earns the vote. This is a competitive sprint handicap however, with Muker, Jer Batt and Mountain Warrior just a trio of interesting rivals.
Carlisle runner-up MOUNTAIN WARRIOR is taken to go one better. Burning Cash is second choice.
(11) Toptime 14/1, Latest win at Southwell (5f) and ran well both starts since, fifth of 10 in handicap back at that venue in March. Has tasted success on turf previously and he's not handicapped out of things back from 73 days off. In form on AW over the winter and has won off higher mark on turf before.
5
2nd (5) (4/1 -20%) Emperor Caradoc
4
4/1(-20%)
(5) Emperor Caradoc 4/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 10 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 30 days ago. Potentially well treated if building on that effort back up in trip. Back-to-form second over 5f at Ayr in cheekpieces latest; major player returned to 6f.
8
3rd (8) (2/1 +60%) Alseeyerthere
2
2/1(+60%)
(8) Alseeyerthere 2/1, Redcar winner (7f) last summer who shaped promisingly when close third of 12 in handicap here (7f) on return in April. Finishing effort a shade underwhelming when fifth at Leicester (7f) 3 weeks ago but the way she travels suggests a return to sprinting won't inconvenience her. The way she's been travelling over 7f suggests drop back to 6f could be a good move.
1
4th (1) (8/1 -45%) King Of Tonga
8
8/1(-45%)
(1) King Of Tonga 8/1, Fallen plenty in the weights and finally took advantage when winning 6-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 6/1) 9 days ago, driven out. Remains with plenty of handicapping scope on old form and respected again. Snapped losing run at Catterick recently and should remain competitive after a 2lb nudge.
2
5th (2) (33/1 -65%) Newyorkstateofmind
33
33/1(-65%)
(2) Newyorkstateofmind 33/1, Made a winning return to action at Wolverhampton (6f) in April but hasn't fired either start in handicaps on turf since. Needs to leave those efforts in his wake if he's to feature. Two heavy defeats on turf since his AW reappearance success.
6
6th (6) (13/2 +35%) Selby's Pride
6.5
13/2(+35%)
(6) Selby's Pride 13/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, tenth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 53 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Second AW reappearance but has recorded two lesser runs on turf since.
7
7th (7) (9/2 +44%) Annie Law
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(7) Annie Law 9/2, C&D winner who battled well when adding to her tally at Kempton (6f) in October. Below best back at that venue on final start in November but entitled to strip fitter for her seasonal return at Chelmsford (7f) 3 weeks ago. C&D winner last year; entitled to come on for recent AW reappearance; respected.
10
8th (10) (25/1 -108%) Jesse Luc
25
25/1(-108%)
(10) Jesse Luc 25/1, Maiden who produced best effort to date when 2 lengths third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) in April. Equipped with cheekpieces/tongue tie, not in same form back on turf when fourth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Beaten over 6l when fourth latest; low mileage but others are more persuasive.
3
9th (3) (80/1 -186%) Equity's Darling
80
80/1(-186%)
(3) Equity's Darling 80/1, Successful on second of 3 starts as a juvenile but unable to build on that confined to just 2 starts in 3-y-o handicaps on all-weather last year. Betting should prove a useful guide on return from 13 months off. Won turf novice at 2 but well held in two AW handicaps last spring; off 419 days.
4
10th (4) (66/1 -230%) Barney's Bay
66
66/1(-230%)
(4) Barney's Bay 66/1, Ended long losing run at Thirsk (6f) 12 months ago. Lightly raced subsequently, and yet to match that level in pair of starts for present stable, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 19 days ago. Fitting of a visor needs to have a positive effect. Well held in two runs for new yard and needs a visor to spark a revival.
9
11th (9) (12/1 -71%) Twayblade
12
12/1(-71%)
(9) Twayblade 12/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Brighton (6f, good to soft) 23 days ago, weakening when slightly hampered last ½f. Others make more appeal. Front-runner; not disgraced in two runs this spring and back on a workable mark.
19:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A very open contest sees plenty of chances in this field, but the slight preference is for TWAYBLADE, who was sent off a very well backed favourite on his latest outing at Brighton and he can bounce back. Chris Dwyer's charge flattered to deceive on that occasion, but a 2lb ease by the handicapper is likely to aid his cause. Emperor Caradoc is feared most after escaping a rise for finishing second over 5f at Ayr last month and this extra yardage should suit, while King Of Tonga heads the remainder.
ALSEEYERTHERE's finishing effort didn't quite match the way she travelled when fifth at Leicester (7f) 3 weeks ago but she's well worth another chance to confirm her mark a workable one returned to sprinting and earns the vote to come out on top. Emperor Caradoc and recent Catterick winner King of Tonga are others fancied to play lead roles.
If the cheekpieces continues to have a positive effect EMPEROR CARADOC might be able to resume winning ways back at 6f.
(5) Giselles Izzy 8/1, Goes well at Hamilton, gaining a third success there on her penultimate start. However, not in the same form when tenth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Carlisle (5f, soft) 2 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to this longer trip. Last-gasp 5f win at Hamilton 4 weeks ago; well held on Thursday but she's better than that.
1
1st (1) (9/4 -13%) Dazy Mazy
2.25
9/4(-13%)
(1) Dazy Mazy 9/4, Opened her account at this C&D in April. Backed up that effort when second of 6 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 7/4) 9 days ago, so she's a key contender in her current mood. C&D win in April was followed by a near miss at Catterick; leading contender.
7
2nd (7) (7/1 +50%) Strong Power
7
7/1(+50%)
(7) Strong Power 7/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Yet to fire this season, tenth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 34 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark as he drops significantly in grade. Better on AW than turf; down in weights but not sure he's ready to capitalise.
4
3rd (4) (5/1 +0%) A Pint Of Bear
5
5/1(+0%)
(4) A Pint Of Bear 5/1, Back on turf/dropped back to 6f, returned to winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Brighton (6f, good to soft, 13/2) 23 days ago. Remains with handicapping scope so he's capable of following up. Two wins (7f AW and 6f good) this year; 2lb rise for latest success is not insurmountable.
3
4th (3) (9/2 +10%) Danzart
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(3) Danzart 9/2, Completed a hat-trick around this time last year and has returned to form on his last 2 starts, second of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 19 days ago, despite having been hampered halfway. Enters calculations. Runner-up the last twice and there's no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again.
10
5th (10) (40/1 -100%) Parr Fire
40
40/1(-100%)
(10) Parr Fire 40/1, Sole victory came here back on her debut. Below form on first run since leaving Nigel Tinkler when ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 40/1) in October. Has since left Patrick Neville ahead of her return. Course winner; losing run stands at 17 and probably wants good or faster; stable debut.
2
6th (2) (33/1 -83%) Athollblair Boy
33
33/1(-83%)
(2) Athollblair Boy 33/1, C&D winner who recorded back-to-back victories at Newcastle earlier this year. After 10 weeks off, below form eighth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. The drop back in grade could help, though. Veteran with two course wins to his name; solid chance provided ground is good or quicker.
8
7th (8) (5/1 +44%) Rwenearlytheredad
5
5/1(+44%)
(8) Rwenearlytheredad 5/1, C&D winner. Hasn't made much impact so far this year, ninth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good, 13/2) 3 weeks ago. However, he's now back down to his last winning mark, so he's not discounted. Yet to get going this season but he's a C&D winner who's back to a good mark; could revive.
6
8th (6) (10/1 +0%) She's The Danger
10
10/1(+0%)
(6) She's The Danger 10/1, Course winner who made it 2 wins from 3 starts when successful at Southwell (5f) in January. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at the same course (7.1f) 79 days ago, racing freely. Capable if on a going day. Her turf win came here (7f); won twice at Southwell this winter; no shock to see a big run.
9
9th (9) (16/1 -14%) Holbache
16
16/1(-14%)
(9) Holbache 16/1, In first-time cheekpieces, again ran well below form when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 14/1) 19 days ago. Not long with his current yard but others make more appeal at present. Has not fired in his two runs for new yard; drops in class but others look safer.
20:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Plenty of in-form rivals line up in this contest, but, after racking up successive seconds of late, DANZART can go one better. Stella Barclay's charge has been raised just 1lb for a three quarters of a length defeat over 6f at Wolverhampton which could prove lenient. Dazy Mazy is likely to enter calculations after just being touched off over 6f at Catterick last time, while A Pint Of Bear should not be discounted following his recent success at Brighton.
A PINT OF BEAR produced his best effort for a while when successful at Brighton last time and, from what remains a workable mark based on old form, he can make a bold bid to score again. Dazy Mazy has shown improved form on her last 2 starts and is feared most, ahead of Danzart.
C&D winner RWENEARLYTHEREDAD has slipped in the weights and he could be ready to capitalise. Danzart is feared most.

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.
