8/1

Ran creditably at York and finished runner-up at this course and distance in July. Ran poorly when 11th of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (12/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on replacing visor and got to be respected given good record here for all he has a poor strike rate these days.

9/2

Won over course and distance and finished second twice in recent runs. 10th of 22 in handicap at York (7/1) 22 days ago, shaped better than result suggests, not ideally placed. Well suited by return to this track. One to consider.

5/2

Forecasts

Lumenbourg (5/2), Commander Of Life (9/2), Mister Mojito (9/2), Riot (8/1), Thapa VC (9/1), Age Of Baroque (9/1), Twilight Diamond (11/1), King David (14/1), Cliffcake (28/1), Bear Force One (40/1)

LUMENBOURG impressed when dominating over course and distance 28 days ago and can go in again after a near-miss at Southwell. Commander of Life wasn't ideally placed at York last time but can figure back at Doncaster, as can Riot, who goes well here and has a change of headgear.
