1:25 Doncaster Tips

The rain coming and making the ground soft is just what this mare needs. A trip on that ground will make her hard to beat, with the Irish raider being the main danger.

Speed ratings from her Ayr win (3m) are the highest in the field. Her 4th in the G2 Jane Seymour (2m3f) was a classic 'outpaced then stayed on' performance. Returning to 3m on a galloping track like Doncaster is her optimal setup. The market is distracted by the 'unbeaten' profile of Coolanna, leaving Dream Shadow at an inefficient price.

Just three career runs from the Skelton-trained 6yo mare, and you could expect more improvement as she now returns from a two-month break. She was a good 5L maiden winner on her second start. Beaten by just a length on her handicap debut last time out, after carrying a big weight that day. Her current rating puts her in the mix for this novice Listed hurdle race, and this longer trip can suit this ex-PTP winner.

Sam Twiston-Davies has ridden Park Princess on the two occasions she has won over hurdles this season, and she could go close on better going here at Doncaster after underperforming on heavy ground last time at Warwick in a Grade 2 novice hurdle.

Two good novice wins this season. Moving up in trip, which looks a good move as the previous run showed. In open company now, so will find it tougher. Trainer does excellent with mares of the selection's quality.

Likely lone leader. On a track that can favor front-runners when the pace is uncontested, she has the stamina to hang on for a place at inflated odds.
