Horse silk
Apasionado82
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: S Edmunds| OR:  134
6/4
Winner of his two previous hurdles starts prior to finding a Grade 2 event at Sandown too hot in early December. Second and third (twice) from his most recent success have both won since and he should go well again as he bids for a fourth career success.
2
Horse silk
Charming Zen21
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: N D Fehily| T: D Skelton
5/4
Comfortable winner of his hurdling debut in the French provinces from a couple of useful looking perfromers. Current connections paid 210,000 Euro's for him subsequently and he looks set to go well on his debut for a top stable.
3
Horse silk
Arctic Chieft140
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Ian Popham| T: R T Phillips
100/1
Absent for over two years prior to pulling up on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon last month and plenty to prove here with a tongue tie applied for the first time.
4
Horse silk
14/1
Sent off favourite for a Southwell bumper last year but could finish only fourth and well beaten on hurdling debut at Ludlow two weeks ago. Likely to fair better in time.
5
Horse silk
4/1
Solid effort in finishing runner-up at Market Rasen on debut last May but disappointed there subsequently. Wasn't beaten far on hurdling debut here earlier this month and top jockey again takes the ride on this well bred gelding.
6
Horse silk
Silent Encoret13
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: B I Case
66/1
Finished behind Mister Whitaker here on his most recent outing and had pulled up on hurdling debut at Warwick prior to that. Looks likely to be better suited to handicap company.
8
Horse silk
Super Charge307
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: A Nicol| T: C W Fairhurst
80/1
Point-to-point winner on debut at Upton-On-Severn in April 2016. Form of that looks poor and well held in a bumper restricted to point-to-point horses at Exeter subsequently. Makes his hurdling debut here.
9
Horse silk
The Grinder26
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Broughton(7)| T: N Kent
16/1
Stepped up markedly on his two previous rules efforts when finishing runner-up at a huge price here last month. Interesting to see if he can back that up with the same amateur jockey in the saddle here.
10
Horse silk
Psychocandy17
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-9| J: G Sheehan| T: Ian Williams
100/1
Well beaten in three outings so far including on hurdling debut here last month. Likely best watched at present.

Forecasts

Charming Zen (5/4), Apasionado (6/4), Mister Whitaker (4/1), Bomber Command (14/1), The Grinder (16/1), Silent Encore (66/1), Super Charge (80/1), Psychocandy (100/1), Arctic Chief (100/1), Sir Luke Arno (150/1)

14:10 Doncaster - 22 February 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CHARMING ZEN can maintain his unbeaten record by making a successful debut for this yard here. The selection appeared to win with a bit in hand when successful on that occasion and had a subsequent winner back in third. Apasionado had been in good form prior to his most recent effort when disappointing and looks the most likely to finish runner-up to the selection while Mister Whitaker has run some solid races in similar races to this and can claim third. 1. Charming Zen 2. Apasionado 3. Mister Whitaker
