DAY 2 AT DONCASTER: Offers of 8.3, 12.0, 13.0, 17.0 and 23.0 taken by Daqman on BETDAQ this morning.
HAVANA ANOTHER BIG CIGAR
⭕ 1.55 Doncaster (Grand National Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap) Connections did a dance of delight after Tom Eaves got Thunder Roar home a short head in the Spring Mile yesterday.
The ITV cameras graciously turned away quickly from faces aghast with disbelief as the stewards tannoyed their decision to award the race to 50-1 runner-up Pearl Eye.
Now the same trainers, Tony Coyle and Kaine Wood, try to relight the cigar with Havana Prince over the same straight mile, which also produced a nose and a neck result in the Lincoln.
Havana Prince (BETDAQ 17.0 win and 4.2 place taken) won three out of four – two of them over a mile – starting last Spring, had a run back in February and is drawn 5 in the next-door stall to Pearl Eye and two away from the Lincoln hero, Godwinson.
If we get the same concertina effect in the final furlong, there could be more long faces; I’m thinking these are amateur jockeys in this one, and single-figure-stall domination could see more crowding as they assume the low side is where to be.
DARK HORSE WITH LOW DRAW
⭕ 3.40 Doncaster Stalls 2 (twice) and 6 have won this 6f handicap in the last three seasons.
The 2024 one-two were Knebworth ( 2) and Woven (4), Knebworth may be out of it in 19 and needs rain but Woven (9) has help from Cieran Fallon, who won the Lincoln. Betdaq Betting Exchange 12.0.
Well-handicapped Dark Thirty (5) won first time out last year and Richard Hannon was straight off the mark for the Flat turf season with the winner of the Brocklesby yesterday. BETDAQ 8.3.
⭕ 4.15 Doncaster George Boughey who, with Oliver Show, had the Lincoln taken off him in the final strides yesterday, won three in a row with Fouroneohfever under Billy Loughnane last Spring before he finished fourth in the King George Stakes – a class higher than today – at Royal Ascot. BETDAQ 13.0 taken.
There’s not much between last year’s one-two Qitaal and Stressfree but Qitaal’s yard is the one in form, with Charlie Johnston logging figures of 121422 in the last three days. BETDAQ 23.0.
MATISSE FOR WINNING RETURN
⭕ 2.35 Leopardstown Aidan O’Brien has won six of the last 10 ‘Red Rocks’ (7f Group-3 trial) and Breeders Cup Juvenile star, Henri Matisse, has already beaten Marble Hill winner Arizona Blaze in the Railway Stakes and Rock Of Cashel in the Futurity, yet better than even money on BETDAQ this morning.
⭕ 3.10 Leopardstown Favourites have a modest record (2-10) in this Priory Belle, fillies’ equivalent of the Red Rocks Stakes. Aidan O’Brien is not so dominant (3-10) but there’s a strong word for his Frankel filly Exactly.
With three to choose from, Ryan Moore picks Exactly, third in both the Moyglare and the Marcel Boussac, with the one most likely to threaten, Dermot Weld’s Swelter (Kingman out of a Pivotal mare, half-sister to Midday from the family of Reams Of Verse).
⭕ 3.45 Leopardstown Favourites again 2-10 in the Ballysax (1m 2f) trial. After four in a row, Aidan O’Brien (2018-21), has failed to score in the last three years, saddling two odds-on flops.
Today he saddles Futurity runner-up Delacroix and Puppet Master. After his 50-1 surprise hit last year, Adrian Murray has two of the seven runners this time: Tiberius Thunder is his best: 13.5 on BETDAQ, 3.9 for two places.
