FIRST RACE 1.00 TWO MILES ABOUT HALF A FURLONG (2M 128YDS) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE VIRGIN BET CONDITIONAL JOCKEYS’ HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 5) (Go North Sea Pigeon Series Qualiﬁer) Total race value £8300 Owners Prize Money. 1st £3171, 2nd £1586, 3rd £793, 4th £397, 5th £280, 6th £280. (Penalty Value £4138.96) A

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): N Richards (9 wins from 67 runners, 13%) runs WILHELM VONVENSTER TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G Boanas (2 wins from 7 runners, 29%) runs BESTIARIUS LONGEST TRAVELLER: GOOD BYE trained by A Jones, Timberscombe, 240 miles. RACE SUMMARY

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest, and GOOD BYE is worth siding with on the back of his most eye-catching Fontwell fourth, form which is working out really well too. Musselburgh scorer The Steward rates the obvious threat with in-form Wilhelm Vonvenster appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes. 1-2-3: 1.GOOD BYE (GER) 2.THE STEWARD (USA) 3.WILHELM VONVENSTER (FR) KEY colours

ROAD WARRIOR thrived on racing during the second half of last season and it is a similar story this time around, so he appeals as the most solid option. Course-winner Zalvados has been given a chance by the handicapper and is second choice.

RACE SUMMARY

ICONE D’AUBRELLE is seemingly well regarded and, in quite a thin race, he’s a straightforward selection to make a successful British debut. Geometrical could obviously take a hand if he can get close to the useful level he achieved on the Flat and, Alchemystique warrants consideration after upsetting huge odds at Southwell when last seen. 1-2-3: 1.ICONE D’AUBRELLE (FR) 2.GEOMETRICAL (IRE) 3.ALCHEMYSTIQUE (IRE) KEY colours

HORSE WELFARE COMES FIRST AT DONCASTER At every race meeting at Doncaster our top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. We have a dedicated team of highly qualiﬁed vets and doctors following the action at all times and a horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting. Use of Screens It is our policy to erect green screens around any horse requiring veterinary attention. This does NOT reﬂect the severity of any injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DELL’ ARCA trained by D Pipe, Wellington, 238 miles. RACE SUMMARY

SCARPIA was able to dictate under Nathan Brennan at Plumpton last week and makes obvious appeal to follow up given he’s unpenalised for that success. Welsh Saint stopped the slide in first-time blinkers last time and is a well-treated horse if they have same effect here, whilst handicap-debutant Lord Roco is sure to appreciate the step up in trip.

MOONAMACAROONA was below form at Fontwell last time but the dual-bumper winner can put that behind her making her handicap debut following a wind op. Her main danger could be the Nicky Henderson-trained Progressive, who has been in good order on the level in recent weeks. Cailin Dearg came up short in her hat-trick bid last time but remains of interest.
