Doncaster 7.15

 

A lot in here with decent AW form but not yet proven on Turf or soft turf and a few who may need the run based on past evidence.

 

Certainly the likes of Bay Of Naples, Defence Treaty and Down To The Kid would have good chances if converting AW for to the Turf. Divine Comedy heads the market and has changed hands since last running over 6 months ago so may need the run, Lunar Jet is undoubtedly fit and in form and won last time over 10 fulongs at Redcar, its up 3 lbs and clearly the biggest danger but I'm not convinced about stamina at this trip and feel I want to take it on. 

 

The pair I think most likely are DUNDORY who has ticked over with a run a moneth on the AW so should be fit enough, a Goodood win at this trip on soft off a mark of 72 last season suggests a mark of 70 with a 5 lbs claimer up is VERY compelling form. DAS KAPITAL can never be ruled out in this type of race and it has good solid form at the trip, in the soft going and off this sort of mark and may have been very cleverly placed here and is also AW fit.

 

With some enhanced place money on offer I'd also draw your attention to a couple at big odds. EYE KNEE would be very well handicapped off a mark of 61 on form as recent as last Autumn and would be a niled on tip if still with Tim Easterby, NH Hurdling hasn't worked and its changed hands twice but hard to ignore compelling form in these conditions and SOLOCHANA who won over an extended 14 furlongs on soft Going at Nottingham in 2021 and who is in the Ben Pauling stable that isn't adverse to Flat runners and winners has had a wind op and brings some race fitness to the table.
