5:15 Doncaster Tips

Miners Gamble was a disappointing 10-length 7/2 favourite in another division of this race last year, so connections must be confident today. Ran a close sixth last time out.

A definite each-way contender, bolstered by a drop in grade and an advantageous handicap mark. With several flat victories under his belt, he arrives in fine form from winter hurdles, dons cheekpieces again, and he thrives on good-to-soft ground.

Bearwith did a grand job, winning at Newcastle last month off a 66, but could not follow up at the start of this month off a 69. Worth another chance with Harry Vigors in the saddle this time, claiming 5 lbs off a 68 today.

Dancing Tiger improved to win at Goodwood last year on heavy going, getting off the mark at the 7th attempt. He failed to back that up in two subsequent runs, but the break he has had since should have helped him strengthen and develop. He could be the type to do well this year.

Consistent mare who's getting on now but is still relatively lightly raced for an 8yr old having had just 28 career runs, only 17 on turf. She had an very good 2025 with 3 wins and 5 2nd's from 10 starts. The latter of those wins came over a mile at Redcar, a narrow head win but she showed a real battling attitude in the final furlong. She made a pleasing enough return from a break on the all-weather last time out which should put her spot on for this. Given how consistent she is, she should give her running again under talented apprentice Ashley Lewis.

Relevant Range has been busy and consistent this year on the all-weather with two wins and five places. He is now back on turf and upped in class but could still hit the frame.
