11/2
C&D winner. 14/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. However, remains 2 lb above last winning mark and he looks vulnerable.

7/2
Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (4/1) at Haydock (6f, heavy) when last seen, driven out. 4 lb rise fair and should go close if fully tuned-up.

6/1
Below form eleventh of 19 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 16/1) 27 days ago, slowly away. Big chance off this reduced mark if he puts his best foot forward.

Three wins from 19 runs last year. 14/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Likely to again find a few too good.

5/2
C&D winner. Won 15-runner handicap at Newbury (6f, heavy, 16/1) 8 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Prospect of better ground here no problem and he's a key player up 3 lb.

20/1
C&D winner. 33/1, first run since leaving Kevin Ryan when below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper but needs to bounce back.

7/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good). Off 7 months (gelded in the interim) and others make more appeal on balance.

Forecasts

Bernardo O'Reilly (5/2), Sterling Knight (7/2), Celsius (7/2), Magical Spirit (11/2), Tinto (6/1), Roach Power (7/1), Seven Brothers (9/1), Ghathanfar (10/1), Rathbone (20/1)

18:45 Doncaster - 29 April 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

STERLING KNIGHT ended last season on the up, bagging back-to-back Haydock handicaps over this trip, and he is taken to pick up where he left off by completing the hat-trick. A 3 lb rise for Bernardo O'Reilly's reappearance success at Newbury doesn't look excessive and he's a player. However, Tinto wasn't beaten far off a higher mark than this in a major sprint handicap last season and he is second choice.
