40/1
3-time all-weather winner last year but clearly wasn't 100% back on turf when last of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Bit to prove with blinkers now refitted.

6/1
Arrives in excellent heart following latest win at Redcar in May and unlucky not to follow up when second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 9/2) 18 days ago, forced to switch when making challenge. Solid claims.

11/4
Won this race off the same mark last year for previous yard. Was well backed when creditable third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 9/2) and shaped as though still in form when sixth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Should remain competitive from this mark.

4/1
Attracted support on stable debut but wasn't seen to best effect in a race that's worked out well. Weaker in the betting with blinkers refitted when eleventh of 17 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 15 days ago. On a fair mark if he can recapture his form with headgear now removed.

3 wins from his last 5 starts, nearly completing a hat-trick when narrow second of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. He's as good as ever right now and will be a threat if he can translate that form back onto turf.

3-time winner last year but yet to trouble the judge this season. Handicapper has given him a chance but it remains to be seen if he can capitalise.

Arrives in good form, placing for the second consecutive race when runner-up at Hamilton (6f, good) 22 days ago, only beaten by an in-form rival. Respected.

4/1
6f debut winner last season but has yet to show his best form in handicaps, for all he was far from disgraced when third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 10/3) 16 days ago. Remains lightly-raced and it would be no surprise to see him step up on recent efforts.

Forecasts

Minnesota Lad (11/4), Justcallmepete (4/1), Flowstate (4/1), Taygar (9/2), Willolarupi (6/1), Noble Consort (15/2), Late Arrival (40/1), Sovereign Knight (40/1)

17:05 Doncaster - 27 June 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

WILLOLARUPI arrives on the back of a career best performance, having been unlucky not to land a double at Pontefract earlier this month. He appeals most ahead of fellow in-form rival Noble Consort who has been thriving on the all-weather and is worth another chance back on turf, while Minnesota Lad is respected racing from the same mark as when winning this contest 12 months ago.
