Smart performer who finished second in a handicap at this course a year ago. Seventh of 10 in flat handicap at Haydock (10/3) 27 days ago when travelling fluently before weakening, likely needed the run. First-time cheekpieces applied and well treated on best form.

Won at Sandown (11/1) 55 days ago but finished 12th of 16 over C&D (16/1) 40 days ago when leading tactics backfired. May do better returned to patient tactics over this trip.

Lightly-raced gelding with two AW wins before finishing second of 10 in handicap at Haydock Park (6/1) 27 days ago on turf debut. Could have more to come and should handle this similar event.

Rogue Diplomat40
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Davies| T: James Owen| OR:  92| CD
Won handicaps at Newmarket and Southwell (both over 7f). First of 16 in handicap at this course and distance (14/1) 40 days ago, staying on well to lead in the final 50 yards. Continues to progress and looks capable of defying another rise in the weights.

Placed second in two consecutive 7f handicaps at Musselburgh in April before finishing seventh of 19 in a handicap at York (28/1) 13 days ago, ran well up with pace but weakened late. May do better with his sights lowered.

Forecasts

Rogue Diplomat (7/2), Midnight Gun (4/1), First Ambition (9/2), Grey's Monument (11/2), Mirabeau (8/1), Balmacara (10/1), God Of War (14/1), Khafiz (14/1), Rhoscolyn (16/1), Our Havana (25/1), Gweedore (25/1)

15:18 Doncaster - 24 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ROGUE DIPLOMAT continues his upward trajectory, completing a hat-trick over C&D 40 days ago, and looks capable of defying another rise in the weights. Midnight Gun should strip fitter after his Haydock return and is well treated with first-time cheekpieces applied. God of War may fare better returned to patient tactics having disappointed over C&D last time.
