1:20 Doncaster Tips

Colt by Kodi Bear who was a top 7f - 8f horse on ground from soft through to good to firm and won as a 2yr old. In terms of progeny, he's already produced some very smart speedy 2yr olds such as Go Bears Go, Lifeplan, Canfield, Cowardofthecounty & Leovanni. This colt's dam is Jeanie B who was lightly race but was a nice 2yr old, winning twice at that age over 5f & 7f before going on to place in group company over in North America. The grand-dam was also a 2yr old winner and ended up reaching a rating as high as 93. The yard have won 2 of the last 4 runnings of this race and usually have some smart 2yr olds ready in this early part of the season. He looks a smart type on paper

Rlastthope is completely built for speed and could be the one in the traditional curtain-raiser to the flat turf season. Sire Rajasinghe won the Coventry at Royal Ascot in 2017 and is related to Kyllachy, who won the Group 1 Nunthorpe. The market will guide expectations with no course form to go by. He should be in the mix come the finish if, as expected, he is fully prepared for this.

Dylan Cunha had a breakthrough year in 2025, and I can see him building on that this year given how things are going currently. He won the Brocklesby two years ago, so does know what it takes. It's impossible to be definitive about the race as they are all unraced two-year-olds, and stakes need to be kept to a minimum. On the positive side for Step To Glory, he is bred to be a smart, sharp two-year-old, is one of the earlier-foaled contenders, and comes from that upwardly mobile yard.

Drawn in stall 11, which is within the range of middle-drawn numbers that have done well in this in the last five years. Dam was a 5f winner; sire was a 6f Group 1 winner. No surprises if he's got plenty of speed.
