3:50 Doncaster Tips

A William Haggas trained 3-year-old who has had 5 races all on the flat, winning once and has finished 2nd twice. His win came in July in a class 5 maiden stakes at Ffos Las over 1 mile on good going, ridden by today's jockey Cieren Fallon when made odds-on favorite, making all to win by a head. He is in a class 3 handicap over 1 mile on soft going. He finished 4th of 17 runners last time out at Ascot in a class 2 handicap over 1 mile on soft going when made favorite, headed and beaten by 5 1/2 lengths. He is racing in a slightly lower class and has the winning jockey back in the saddle. Has a good chance in this race today.

This horse went in the tracker a few weeks ago. A mate told me about it, so I've checked the breeding out and form. I'm happy to back it today and chance my luck.

Look Back Smiling has been well backed. Will absolutely love the ground conditions, having won twice on heavy ground. So, worth chancing at these odds.

Walsingham just keeps winning since the break, then takes on weight and wins again, with the latest win by a bigger margin on soft in C4. While only up 3 lbs for that, he steps up to C3 and gets my vote with Kevin Stott.

Hasn't won for 3 years but ran some reasonable races off much higher marks. Looked to be coming back to form with 2 decent efforts the last twice over this trip, with one of them over course and distance. Not beaten far on 2 other occasions at this venue. Beaten 2 lengths over course and distance in March this year when running off a 9lb higher mark. Should have a decent each-way chance.

The only time this horse had the tongue tie and cheekpiece combo resulted in a cracking effort to finish 5th between 105 and 107 rated horses in a Group 3 at Epsom. She's won for this jockey on heavy before too, so that 5th can be upgraded on account of the ground not being ideally soft enough for her. The horse has won here on soft before too, and now that she's in calmer waters with her ideal conditions, this mark of 91 looks a very winnable one.

Small each-way tip for this horse who is less exposed than a few of today's opponent so may have a bit more to offer than what the others have to offer.

Drops a pound, moves down in class/grade, and has the ground that he prefers. This is a strong each-way bet with him ticking boxes and remembering he won here on heavy ground on debut back in 2023.

With wins on testing ground, Sheriff's Court is interesting returning from a sixty-day-plus break. The Blue Point gelding ran his last two races on all-weather surfaces but has shown his liking for these conditions, and that has to be acknowledged, stepping up in grade for his top trainer.

With solid course form and a seeming preference for the softer going, CANVAS is a tricky one to rule out with any degree of certainty. Found a step up in grade too hot to handle last time out, but now drops to class three and will fare better. Claimer Sam Fielden takes some weight off and has won on board him previously too.

Distance winner who steps up in class here. Won at Musselburgh recently, being a heavy favourite, and with a second place at Chester on this type of ground. Seems good value at this price on ground that obviously suits. Likely to make all.
