1. Torcello – Showed good form with blinkers on at the end of last season, finishing second here and winning at Newmarket, and has gone well fresh before. With a fair 4lb rise in the weights, he’s a big player in this race.
2. Star Angel – Showed promise in Ireland and made a winning stable debut in a Southwell novice last month. With potential to improve in her first handicap, she’s respected.
3. Clansman – Won on last season’s reappearance and back to winning ways at Ayr in October when last seen. With conditions in his favour and the ability to go well fresh, he could play a leading role.

1. Cloudbreaker – Showed promise in her debut run and stepped up to win a fillies’ novice at Newmarket. She had a good return in February finishing fourth at Wolverhampton, indicating scope for improvement on handicap debut.
2. Mighty River – Won a novice race at Wolverhampton in December and was competitive in handicaps during the winter. He looks well handicapped and has potential on turf.
3. Demilion – Won a handicap debut at Wolverhampton in January, and while the form is not outstanding, he is with a good stable and has the potential to progress on turf.

1. Overrule – Confirmed debut promise with a win at Redcar and likely to progress further, making him a contender here.
2. Theoryofeverything – With a strong pedigree and coming from a top yard, he is one to note on debut.
3. Striking Star – Superbly bred and showed promise with a smooth win on debut, but needs to bounce back from a disappointing run in the Horris Hill.

15:20 DoncasterSun 2 Apr 6f Hcap

1. Magical Spirit – C&D winner in 2021, good results over C&D in 2021, and showed signs of a revival in October.
2. Bernardo O’Reilly – Took this event on his seasonal return 12 months ago, back to his last winning mark now, and with a fine 5 lb claimer on board.
3. Aleezdancer – Consistent sort who bagged a 6f Ripon handicap in August, and ended his campaign with a good Ascot third following month.

15:55 DoncasterSun 2 Apr 1m2f Hcap

1. Sir Rumi – a likeable and consistent type who ran well at the course when last seen, with a good record on soft ground. The drop back in trip should be no inconvenience, and he is firmly in calculations.
2. First Officer – a reliable performer who won on heavy ground at Nottingham in October and has held form well since. He may be summed up by his mark, but his effectiveness in the conditions is a plus, and he could go well on his return to turf.
3. Flyin’ Solo – a lightly raced 6-year-old who ran very well when second at Ascot on his sole outing last season. While he has a lengthy absence to overcome, he is progressive and has further potential with few miles on the clock, and he is on the shortlist on his return to action.

16:30 DoncasterSun 2 Apr 7f Hcap

1. Cold Stare – Has been competitive on slow ground before and is on a workable mark. Likely to be fully tuned up for this and may improve on his last run at this course.
2. Mohi – Suited by soft ground and turned in his best effort for quite some time when runner-up at Kempton last month. Step up in trip could be the catalyst for a return to form.
3. Gorak – Made a good start for his new yard and has the cheekpieces reapplied after a lesser effort last month. Not handicapped out of contention and could bounce back.

17:05 DoncasterSun 2 Apr 5f Hcap

1. High Opinion – Respected as an unexposed runner who should handle the likely conditions and has shown good form in the past, including a career-best win in soft ground at Nottingham.
2. Burj Malinka – Has won twice on soft ground and gone well fresh before. Although he is without headgear today, he should relish the likely conditions and is high on the list.
3. Prospect – Dropped to a fair mark and ran well on his return from a 150-day break at Newcastle. With his act-on-any-ground ability and the likelihood of him being sharper for this race, he could be a leading player.

17:40 DoncasterSun 2 Apr 5f Hcap

1. Ey Up It’s Maggie – Drops into a Class 5 handicap for the first time and is now 8lb lower than for her latest win on soft ground. Respected if ready after 158 days off.
2. Indian Sounds – Returns from wind surgery and is now 20lb lower than at this time last year. Although all four turf wins have come on good or faster ground, he has gone close on soft and worth a second look.
3. Hey Mr – Makes stable debut after seven months off and is well worth monitoring in the market. Has won on slow ground before and could be ready to return to winning ways on first run for yard after leaving Les Eyre.
