7/4
Showed glimpses of ability before striking on second start in handicaps at Uttoxeter (2m7½f, heavy) last time by 28L. Although that was a weak contest he may well be better than this 7lb penalty asks of him and he looks short-list material.

15/2
Loves to get his toe in and last seen over hurdles 13-months ago, when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m7½f, soft) from 12lb lower. Won from today's mark over fences next time, so has the ability if he can shrug off his last run, when he didn't stay further.

Broke his duck over hurdles at the 12th attempt at Taunton (3m, soft) last time out, from a 6lb lower mark. Seems to be going the right way since joining this trainer, so entirely possible he can build on that and show up well again.

His record on soft/heavy ground has to be a concern ahead of this, although he proved he stays 2m7f when scoring on good ground at Worcester 18-months ago. More needed from this mark on first run since July.

Runner-up to useful performer in a fillies' bumper last season, but has not been in the same parish as her opponents in three hurdles runs this term. Up in trip from a workable mark for handicap debut as a result of that and market check suggested.

11/2
Has shown a bit of ability since going handicapping, his best effort arguably being last time when runner-up at Towcester (3m, good to soft). Nudged up 1lb for that and needs improvement to win, but could be among the prizes.

Won a point-to-point on soft ground, so this trip and conditions should hold no fears. Recent form leaves plenty to be desired, but drops 6lb going into this, only his second try over 3m under rules, so would be interesting if supported.

Best efforts were around Uttoxeter at this sort of trip in 2015, but on the slide largely since then and hard to fancy despite this lowly mark.

Forecasts

Innisfree Lad (7/4), Cheque En Blanc (2/1), Max Dynamo (11/2), Amberjam (15/2), Log On (16/1), Bermeo (22/1), Reine Des Miracles (25/1), Blackwell Synergy (28/1)

15:40 Doncaster - 9 January 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Not a lot of strength-in-depth here and although it would be easy to get carried away with the margin of his Uttoxeter win, there was probably enough in that to suggest that INNISFREE LAD can defy a penalty here before the handicapper has his say. Amberjam is more interesting back at this trip and over hurdles, while Cheque En Blanc is in better form recently and is feared. Reine Des Miracles is a potential fly in the ointment and should be checked in the market on her handicap debut, while both Max Dynamo and Log On would also be of interest if supported.
