C&D winner. 9/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 32 days ago, driven clear. Another bold show anticipated.

Good second of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Not without each-way hope.

Two wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft, 7/2) 7 days ago, comfortably. 4 lb higher now but he's evidently going the right way.

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 17 days ago. Very much of interest back down in trip off the same mark.

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 51 days ago. Likely to find a few too good once more. Yard also represented by Gypsy Whisper.

Forecasts

Lockdown Lass (9/2), Powerful Response (9/2), War Defender (7/1), Kodebreaker (7/1), Handel (7/1), Back From Dubai (8/1), Zafaan (17/2), Maffeo Barberini (11/1), Free Step (12/1), Gypsy Whisper (14/1), Medina Gold (25/1), Mudlahhim (28/1), Big Dutchie (66/1)

20:15 Doncaster - 22 July 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The vote goes to WAR DEFENDER, who has slipped to an attractive mark and dropping back in trip here will aid his cause after weakening close home when fourth over 9f at Musselburgh recently. Back From Dubai resumed winning ways at Beverley and is next on the list ahead of the hat-trick seeking Powerful Response and the consistent Kodebreaker.
