I’m preparing Oscar speech

ENNISCOFFEY OSCAR (3.15), who runs in the MansionBet Handicap Hurdle at Doncaster, looks to be my best chance of a winner this weekend.

I rode him to finish second in a very strong bumper at the 2017 Grand National meeting, where he found only Lalor too good. He has since gone on to run well over hurdles, the highlight being his Grade Two win over course and distance almost 12 months ago.

If he can recover his hurdles form then this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.

GOT AWAY (2.05) lines up in the feature race at Doncaster, the MansionBet Yorkshire Silver Vase Mares’ Chase.

She won at this Listed level at Leicester in January and appeared to be going well when falling four out in a competitive race at the Punchestown Festival.

However, she disappointed on her first run back at Carlisle this month and she will need to get back to her earlier form if she is to give Lady Buttons a race.

HOLD THE NOTE (12.20) ran a promising race on his hurdles bow when third at Sandown last time out, and is an interesting ride in the MansionBet British EBF “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle.

He also ran a fine race to come fourth in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham so impresses on the form book and looks to have a good chance.

My other ride is CLUB TROPICANA (12.55), who makes his debut over obstacles in the Napoleons Casino, Restaurant And Bar Sheffield Fillies’ Juvenile Maiden Hurdle.

He did run in the Rockfel as a two-year-old for his trainer Richard Spencer, so was obviously held in high enough regard.

Richard is a young trainer but has already made a really big impact with his Flat horses and does well with the jumpers he sends out too.
