Doncaster – The ability to handle soft ground will be crucial and
does. He comes here on the back of a Wolverhampton success but his victory in last year’s Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood in similar conditions highlights his chance here. finished last season with a flourish, winning two of his final three outings, which included one over course and distance. If he resumes at the same level then he should make his presence felt along with who was not beaten far behind the selection at Goodwood and has a 6lb pull. Newbury – The drop in trip will suit
after his stamina gave out behind
at Exeter. The latter is still better in at the weights but the shorter distance will bring them together. The progressive remains of interest off his present mark but did finish a long way behind
in December and may struggle to take his revenge. Shanroe Santos has since scored at Carlisle and was a tad unlucky at Sandown when stumbling at the second last and unseating when in contention. Doncaster – The unexposed will strip fitter for his recent start at Newcastle and ran out a very easy winner over seven furlongs here in similar conditions last year. He tackles this trip for the first time but there is stamina in his pedigree and the booking of Ryan Moore takes the eye. He has obvious claims but the consistent
may prove stronger. He failed by a short head in a valuable Haydock handicap but the form was boosted when the winner scored next time out. He will handle the conditions and remains well treated. Newbury – A competitive heat and most of the field are open to improvement. was entitled to win at Market Rasen and is not certain to appreciate the step up in trip.
disappointed last time but had looked a useful recruit when scoring comfortably at Warwick and is worth another chance. He holds on that run but who was a stayer on the Flat, is likely to be suited by today’s distance. He opened his hurdle account at Ludlow and ran a close second in a Sandown handicap, which reads well in this company. Doncaster – All six have some sort of chance with little to separate them on official figures.
faces a tough task conceding weight but has been admirably consistent and has only finished out of the first two twice in 11 starts, winning four. He has been successful with ease in the ground but would not want it too soft. The lightly-raced
looked destined for better things when he won a very competitive York handicap impressively. He disappointed at Ascot but that race may have come too soon and he remains a horse with bags of potential. Newbury – A very competitive renewal and the front-running
gets the nod to defy top weight. She has been in cracking form, winning three of her last four starts and showed plenty of resolution to deny at Sandown last time. The latter has a pull in the weights but lacked a change of gear in the closing stages. However, she still looks the one to follow the selection home. is better than her last effort and could run into a place and
has improved since being trounced by the selection in December. Doncaster – Four of the first five home 12 months ago are back for another crack. The winner,
is 5lb lower but has been out of sorts since and so has fourth home, who won this race in 2015. was a fast-finishing third but has not won since June 2015 and
is suggested. He finished with a wet sail to take fifth but then went on to success in the Cambridgeshire. He is now 6lb higher but has an up-and-coming apprentice taking 7lb off. Money has poured on since Ryan Moore was booked and victory for Original Choice in 2.25 would boost his chance as he beat him at Haydock last June.
