Doncaster’s £50,000 bet365 Handicap is the most valuable race of seven shown on Channel 4 on Saturday, while there are also two Listed races, one at the Yorkshire track, and the other on Kempton’s all-weather surface.
Run over six furlongs and off at 3.30, the bet365 Handicap represents another opportunity for Jim Goldie’s Jack Dexter to continue his upward profile. A five-time winner at three, Graham Lee’s mount also won on his seasonal re-appearance and though he finds himself at the top of the handicap he will surely have a number of his opponents trailing in his wake.
Jack Dexter’s recent success came in the Cammidge Trophy over the same course and distance two weeks ago. Our Jonathan (now 4lb better off for a two-and-half-length beating in third place) and Hitchens (6lb better for nearly three lengths when coming fourth) will re-oppose.
Ron Harris’s improving sprinter Prodigality, is one who may trouble that trio. The five-year-old will be ridden by Luke Morris, and his recent defeat of the useful 99-rated Justineo (fit from Dubai) and the in-form Aubretia suggests he may be able to stay ahead of the handicapper.
The 2.20 bet365 Doncaster Mile Stakes features Michael Bell’s Sovereign Debt, and the Newmarket trainer reckons it’s a race that could pave the way to a lucrative campaign for the Dark Angel colt this term.
Sovereign Debt improved rapidly through last season and was fifth to Excelebration in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on his final start.
“This has been his early-season plan and he likes the track,” said Bell. “He certainly looks to have progressed from three to four and he should have an exciting season. He looks a much stronger horse now and we are looking forward to having a good 2013 with him.”
The Betfred Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes at Kempton (3.15) is boosted by the presence of Lily’s Angel.
A high-class juvenile and seventh in last year’s 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket when trained by Richard Fahey, the four-year-old has continued her upward curve since joining County Meath-based Ger Lyons last autumn. She won a valuable Leopardstown handicap, scored twice on the all-weather at Dundalk and made it four from four at the Dubai Carnival in early January.
Lily’s Angel ran creditably in defeat on her next appearance at Meydan and although she was a little disappointing on her return to Ireland in last weekend’s Gladness Stakes, Lyons is happy to turn her out again quickly.
He said: “She’s arrived at Kempton and she’s grand. You never know until you run them, but she seems to have come out of last week’s race well. She just didn’t handle the ground at the Curragh. She’ll appreciate the surface at Kempton, she’s in good order and I wouldn’t be going over there if I didn’t think she had a big chance.”

1.55 STRATFORD
ZARZAL
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on soft ground. Third of 22 behind Cockney Sparrow beaten 6l at 25-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Aintree over 2m (good to soft) earlier this month.
3.40 STRATFORD
SWIFT LORD
Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m 1f and 2m 2f on good ground, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 7 behind Morgan’s Bay beaten 5l at 20-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Kempton over 2m (soft) last month.
5.20 STRATFORD
CHIQUILLINE
Placed in a hurdle race from seven starts. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Twirling Magnet when seventh of 14 on his latest outing in a chase at Newbury over 2m 6f (good to soft) last month.

A tricky card at Doncaster, to land the Placepot…
13:50- A six-runner maiden confined to two-year-olds, many of whom are making their first start, isn’t the most appealing of propositions, but Donny Rover – a half-brother to the very smart Mac Love – did shape with conspicuous promise in the Brocklesby and is capable of much better with the benefit of that experience behind him. He is joined in the Placepot by the Ron Harris-trained Mr Dandy Man. A half-brother to several winners, Mr Dandy Man is bred for speed and it is encouraging to see his trainer already send out a two-year-old winner this term.
14:20- Things don’t get much easier in the second leg as it is difficult to rule out any of the remaining six runners with confidence. Sovereign Debt progressed well last year, his season culminating with a creditable fifth in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot, and there is every chance he will be capable of even better this year. He is a fairly reliable type – a poor effort in the Joel Stakes at Newmarket his one bad run last year – and there is little reason to suspect this strong-travelling sort won’t make a bold bid. The highly-tried Gabrial often found a few too good last season, but he has been gelded over the winter, his trainer has started the season firing and he doesn’t have much to find on form with the likes of Highland Knight and Sovereign Debt.
14:55- The two horses that instantly catch the eye in this event are Man of Plenty and Beyond Conceit, both horses that have switched yards, moving to the powerful stables of Ed Dunlop and Andrew Balding respectively. Both horses actually hold strong claims purely based on the level of form they achieved last year, and, with improvement surely forthcoming for their new handlers, they should see us through the third leg.
15:30- A fiercely competitive event for us to negotiate but fortunately we can turn to a couple of reliable and progressive sprinters in Jack Dexter and Prodigality. The former has top-weight to defy, but he made a fantastic return to action, landing the Cammidge Trophy in authoritative style and he ought to be making his presence felt in the top pattern events later in the season. Prodigality also won on his return, producing a career-best effort in the process, and he still appears to be on an upward curve. He has experience in big-field handicaps, looking unlucky on a couple of occasions not to win one, and he deserves inclusion.
16:05- It is interesting to see Albaqaa stepping back up in trip having been campaigned over inadequate distances of late and he is handicapped to win this having scored off higher marks last year. We will also add Patriotic who comes here on the back of a decent effort at this venue, finishing fourth to Educate. This longer trip ought to be within his compass and he is capable of making the frame again.
16:40- Lewisham’s excellent second in the July Stakes last term sets the standard, but he is perhaps flattered by that effort and will have plenty of lines riding on him. We will take him on with Robot Boy, a colt trained by David Barron. Robot Boy is seemingly well regarded, sent off at 3-1 on his debut, and while he couldn’t make an impression at Pontefract he did show more ability when third at Nottingham. He remains open to improvement and goes in as our last-leg banker.
Selections:
13:50- 1, 3
14:20- 3, 5
14:55- 6, 11
15:30- 1, 4

3.05 LEOPARDSTOWN
DECLARATION OF WAR 1-1 Bet365
He has won four times from 7f to 1m 3f on soft – heavy ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 11-10fav in the Group 3 Diamond Stakes at Dundalk over 1m 3f in October last year, beating Along Came Casey by 1/2l.
4.15 LEOPARDSTOWN
BATTLE OF MARENGO 4-6 Bet365
He has won three times from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to soft – heavy. Won on his latest outing when 4-9fav in the Group 2 Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at Curragh over 1m (soft – heavy) in September last year, beating Orgilgo Bay by 3 1/2l.
3.10 WINCANTON
COME ON ANNIE 9-2 Bet365
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 1f on soft and heavy ground. Beaten 1l by Nicene Creed when second of 8 at 3-1fav on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Chepstow over 2m (heavy) last month. Has won at Taunton and Ffos Las this season.
4.20 WINCANTON
JUMP CITY 11-8 Bet365
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 3f on good and soft ground. Beaten 3 1/2l by Hunt Ball when second of 6 at 11-4 on his latest outing in a chase at Taunton over 2m 3f (good to firm) earlier this month. Has won at Exeter and Newton Abbot this season.
RACE IN FOCUS – WINCANTON 3.45
——————————-
Qualviro was a winning hurdler in Ireland and added to tally for this yard back over timber at Ludlow in February. Race worked out better than expected, so disappointing he couldn’t do better at Ffos Las latest.
Den of Iniquity ended short spell with Ferdy Murphy in the perfect fashion back hurdling at Perth in April. In touch when unseating 3 out at Newbury last month but failed to build on it next time.
Brough Academy won a Kilbeggan bumper for Joanna Morgan and only second start for this yard when taking 2¼m novice hurdle in January 2012. Things not gone to plan since, though, and tried in a visor now.
Sparrow William Hill improved when winning pair of handicap hurdles here in January 2011. Yet to fire back from an absence, though, and hopes resting on the return to this track reviving his fortunes.
Rigolo Ville won a bumper in France and also placed in a maiden hurdle there back in 2010. Some promise on first 2 starts for this yard but recent handicap debut was underwhelming.
Dalavar made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers, but not knocked about over hurdles. Disappointing on handicap debut last month but too soon to write him off and one to consider in this field.
Be My Light takes plenty of driving, but consistency hard to knock, making the frame regularly over hurdles/fences since a Uttoxeter success in April 2011. Minor placing might be his best hope.
Hatters River was no great shakes in Irish points but hinted at promise in novice hurdles and improved efforts in handicaps the last twice. Remains open to improvement and no surprise to see him go well.
Only Vintage is a veteran who won at Folkestone last January, but out of sorts this year. Lowly mark to try and exploit back over hurdles but comes with more than his share of risks attached.
Kastani Beach was modest in bumpers/over hurdles in Ireland, but won a point in October, and good placed efforts in handicap hurdles the last twice. Up in the weights but should continue to go well.
Old Way won maiden hurdle in the mud at Hereford (17f) in early 2011, but hasn’t kicked on since sent handicapping. Should run his race but likely to find a few of these too strong.
Mystic Appeal was a fair maiden hurdler last term. Shaped quite well when fifth in C&D handicap on reappearance, but gone the wrong way since. Hard to know what to expect but market support would look encouraging.
1. Hatters River
2. Dalavar
3. Kastani Beach
Hatters River has been knocking on the door of late and can gain a first success. Of the remainder, there may be more to come from Dalavar, while Kastani Beach has run with credit the last twice and has place claims once again.
IRISH RACE IN FOCUS – LEOPARDSTOWN 3.40
—————————————-
Bunairgead has improved with each of her 3 starts as a 2-y-o, off the mark at the third attempt in C&D maiden in November. Might have more to come this year but has a bit to find if she is to land this.
Greek Goddess bettered her debut effort when taking a heavy-ground Killarney maiden in August. Came up short twice in this company afterwards and stable look to have stronger claims with Snow Queen.
Harmonic Note showed plenty of promise on debut and steady improvement in nurseries in the autumn, off the mark at Dundalk in November. Fair third on reappearance and blinkers now refitted.
Hint of A Tint is from a good family and created good impression when landing maiden at The Curragh in July. That form solid enough and open to plenty of improvement this time round. Respected.
Liberating knew what was required when making a winning debut in 5f Cork maiden this time last year. Series of consistent efforts afterwards but improvement needed if she is to take this.
Pop Art is an expensive purchase who made winning debut at Naas in October. That form has worked out well enough but it’s still a far cry from what will be needed in this company.
Rawaaq’s win on debut is looking like strong form and she was back on track when creditable second of 7 in Group 3 in September. Capable of making an impact in this sort of company and one to consider.
Snow Queen got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in 7f minor event at the Curragh in August, and improved to land Naas nursery in October. That form gives her an obvious chance now back up in grade.
What Style has plenty of stamina on the distaff side of her pedigree so encouraging that she had the speed to get the better of Snow Queen over C&D on debut in August. Open to stacks of improvement
1. What Style
2. Hint of A Tint
3. Snow Queen
What Style got the better of Snow Queen on her debut and although her opponent improved afterwards, it’s hard to believe she won’t progress herself. She can take this step up in class in her stride and prove too strong for another unbeaten filly in Hint Of A Tint.
LEOPARDSTOWN SUNDAY PREVIEW
—————————-
The Flat action in Ireland goes up a notch at Leopardstown this weekend, with Sunday’s card featuring two Group 3s and a couple of listed events, perhaps the most interesting of which is the Ballysax Stakes over one and a quarter miles.
Paddy Prendergast’s Sugar Boy heads the Timeform ratings and he promises to relish the extra furlong on his reappearance. He improved with experience during his two-year-old campaign, running to a smart level when readily completing a hat-trick in a listed race at this track in November, pulling over six lengths clear of Coolibah. Sugar Boy quickly showed himself to be a straightforward and likeable type last year and could be a spot of value against the likely favourite Battle of Marengo if fully wound up for this.
Battle of Marengo sits a couple of pounds behind Sugar Boy on the adjusted ratings, but does have the Timeform ‘p’ for improvement, and his overall profile isn’t too dissimilar to that rival’s. The son of Galileo met with his only defeat in a maiden here on debut, but progressed into a smart performer after and rounded off a successful campaign when landing the odds in the Beresford Stakes at the Curragh. The penalty he received for that win could well prove to be the difference between him and Sugar Boy this time, and it’s hard to envisage the winner not coming from that pair.
The Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial Stakes marks the return of the exciting The United States and it will be a blow to his classic aspirations if he isn’t up to making a winning return in this listed event. Bred in the purple – by Galileo and out of the 114-rated mare Beauty Is Truth – The United States’ maiden win at the Curragh couldn’t have worked out much better, with four of the five immediately behind him going on to win next time out, and he’s open to significant improvement after just the one outing.
The fillies’ version of the race should be just as informative and it will come as no surprise that Aidan O’ Brien appears to have another strong player in this in the form of Snow Queen. Kept relatively busy at two years, she beat subsequent winner Ballyorban in a nursery at Naas when last seen and the return to seven furlongs shouldn’t be any inconvenience.
Her biggest threat could well come from the John Oxx-trained What Style, who actually got the better of her when landing a C&D maiden on her sole start last term. Whilst she created a good impression that day and is sure to progress in time, the Oxx yard are yet to have a winner this year, and Snow Queen could well reverse form on Sunday with the benefit of a recent gallop at the Curragh under her belt.
