Low-mileage 4-y-o who shaped really well after a break when third of 16 in 7f handicap at Ascot (soft) 20 days ago, clear first home in his group. Weighted to go in here off an unchanged mark.

Arrives in good nick, third of 17 to Chairmanoftheboard in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Lightly raced this term, so he needs considering nudged up just 1 lb.

Confirmed previous promise when back to winning ways in 17-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Not taken lightly under a 5 lb penalty.

Scored at York in May but hasn't matched that form since, though respectable fifth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, soft) 14 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now.

Dual 6f winner in the summer but his recent form is far less encouraging, only sixteenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Last year's Ayr Silver Cup winner who has been in good order until beating only one at York (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Consistent sort but he turned in a rare below-par effort in Ayr Silver Cup 34 days ago. Very much the type to bounce back quickly.

Already a three-time winner in 2021, including over C&D, and he posted another solid effort when seventh of 17 to Chairmanoftheboard in handicap at Haydock (6f) 7 days ago. Can't be ruled out.

Without a win since 2018, but he's knocking on the door and suffered a poor run when fifth in 7f handicap at Musselburgh 11 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpies now. Ought to be competitive again.

Has posted some very good runs since scoring at Pontefract in June. Checked in his run when tenth of 19 in 5f handicap at York 14 days ago, so he merits consideration here lowered 3 lb.

14:40 Doncaster - 22 October 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A competitive sprint, but it's hard to side against FRESH who caught the eye when third in a big-field Ascot handicap (comfortably clear in his group) and arrives here on the back of a light campaign. Music Society has been given a chance by the official assessor so this durable sort must enter calculations. Air Raid and Danzan both figure high on the shortlist too in a useful contest.

  2. MUSIC SOCIETY (IRE)
  3. AIR RAID
