18/1
Well prepared to make a winning return to action at Kempton (21f) 13 months ago but missed the remainder of the campaign and low-key efforts upon returning in recent months, well-beaten last of 4 back in corresponding race 26 days ago. Tough to assess at present.

9/1
Likeable type who resumed progress during second half of last term, winning over 2½m in the mud at Wetherby and Uttoxeter. Stil looks on a competitive mark if fully primed for this reappearance.

9/2
Multiple winner over hurdles and very useful form over fences last season, including a Grade 2 win. Lost his way over fences at the start of this season but took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in 2½m Bangor handicap hurdle last month. Claims if he can build on that.

Landed an eighth handicap hurdle success of his career when seeing off 3 rivals over 21f at Kempton last month. That was only his second start for Olly Murphy and it's possible he could have more to come for his new stable.

25/1
Front runner who landed a pair of handicap hurdles in early 2024. Held when falling 2 out on his Wetherby reappearance but he should come on for the run.

Notched a first win in handicap company at Wetherby (2½m) in February. Below par on his final 2 starts of last season but bounced back to best when a close third (Coniston George neck ahead in second) on Carlisle (17f) on reappearance 24 days ago. Player if showing up here in similar form.

9/4
Maiden/novice hurdle winner who has recorded good placed efforts in all 3 handicaps, on the latest finishing narrowly ahead of the reopposing War Soldier at Carlisle (17f). Back up in trip. Developing a likeable profile and should go well.

8/1
Won a 2m Sandown handicap last winter. Also recorded some good placed efforts in the spring but he's been well below par in 2 comeback outings this autumn. A subsequent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect.

Forecasts

Coniston George (9/4), Pyramid Place (16/5), Homme Public (9/2), War Soldier (8/1), Arqoob (8/1), Santos Blue (9/1), Dargiannini (18/1), Rafferty's Return (25/1)

13:25 Doncaster - 13 December 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A tight handicap. CONISTON GEORGE has the potential for a bit better again now stepping back up in trip and is narrowly preferred to War Soldier, who was just behind him at Carlisle last time, and November's Kempton scorer Pyramid Place.
