3/1
Close third on debut at the Curragh before landing the odds in a Galway maiden. Took a big step forward when third in the Royal Lodge at Newmarket 4 weeks ago and emphasis on stamina here is likely to suit.

7/4
Frankel colt out of a Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner. Built on debut promise when easily landing the odds in maiden at Killarney and stepped up again when 5-length winner of Champions Juvenile Stakes (1/2) at Leopardstown 6 weeks ago. Big shout.

18/5
Wootton Bassett colt out of a dam who won the Group 1 British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. Much improved when winning maiden at the curragh and looked a smart prospect when following up in Beresford Stakes there 4 weeks ago. Sure to make a bold bid.

11/4
Frankel colt who confirmed debut promise when bolting up by 8 lengths at Sandown. Improved again when length second to subsequent Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner Puerto Rico in Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and similar form when fifth in the Dewhurst. Not taken lightly up in trip.

Forecasts

Benvenuto Cellini (7/4), Oxagon (11/4), Action (3/1), Hawk Mountain (18/5), Item (8/1), Rochfortbridge (40/1)

14:05 Doncaster - 25 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Aidan O'Brien has won this a record 11 times and can dominate again with his 3 runners HAWK MOUNTAIN, Benvenuto Cellini and Action. All 3 are progressive and closely matched on form but Hawk Mountain is proven under testing conditions so shades the vote.
