Donny’s Hot spot

DERBY favourite Too Darn Hot heads a field of 17 horses left in at the confirmation stage for the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster on Saturday.

The son of Dubawi confirmed the impression of his sevenlength debut success at Sandown with a fourlength romp in the Solario Stakes back at the Esher track two weeks ago.

Mark Johnston has left in his emphatic Vintage Stakes scorer Dark Vision, plus Marie’s Diamond and Victory Command.

MORE than 25 firefighters were called to tackle a fire in the grandstand at Huntingdon racecourse yesterday.
