WELCOME

TO DONCASTER RACECOURSE

Welcome to our Jumps Season Finale Meeting Good afternoon and welcome to Doncaster Racecourse for our final National Hunt meeting of the 2021/2022 season.

We would like to thank today’s sponsors SBK, Cazoo and Go Racing in Yorkshire for their most generous support.

Thank you to our raceday presenter and tipster Kevin Ackerman who will be with you throughout the day to keep you updated on all the action, including the SBK Gold Trophy Novices’ Handicap Chase with £25,000 prize money. We’ll also be broadcasting day four of the Cheltenham Festival live on our screens throughout the racecourse with full commentary. It’s great to welcome Cheltenham trainer Paul Nicholls to Doncaster today who brings runners all the way from Ditcheat.

We are pleased you’ve joined us and hope you have a great day! Much like many businesses across the UK, we’ve been experiencing supply chain issues across a number of different areas, including team shortages, which unfortunately puts some added pressure on us to be able to deliver the experience you expect and love. We want to reassure you that we are doing our absolute best and we thank you for treating our team with patience, respect and kindness.

We wish you the best of luck today and hope you’ll join us again on Saturday 26th March for the official start of the British Flat racing season – the prestigious SBK Lincoln Handicap.

Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

RACE SUMMARY

THELASTHIGHKING failed to repeat his Fontwell second at Exeter last time, but he’s worth another chance now going handicapping under a handy 10lb claimer. Stokes can give another good account up in trip, while Twotwothree is another to consider with the Greenall yard going better now than earlier in the season.

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.

Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!

PLAY SMARTER

VAUBAN won the Spring Juvenile in impressive fashion on just his second start over hurdles, and that looks the best piece of form in the division on either side of the Irish Sea, so he’s fancied to prove too strong with further improvement on the cards. The Elliott-trained pair Pied Piper and Fil Dor are fancied to follow him home in that order, while Doctor Parnassus makes appeal at bigger odds.

RACE SUMMARY

A warm race on paper with DOUGLAS TALKING fancied to get the hat-trick up for his Cheltenham Festival winning connections. He’s looked a chaser of real promise with impressive victories at Musselburgh and Sandown and could go a long way. Ahead of The Field can go well again, while Global Fame is another with place claims at least.

PLAY SMARTER

Unsurprisingly, claims can be made for a host, including Nigel Twiston Davies’ I LIKE TO MOVE IT. Already a 3-time winner over hurdles, he improved again and shaped really well when second in the Befair Hurdle latest, going down by a short head. This stiffer test will suit and he earns the vote. Irish raiders Top Bandit and State Man are next best, ahead of West Cork and Surprise Package.

PLAY SMARTER

GINTO made light of the further step up in grade when completing the hat-trick in a Grade 1 at Naas in January, maintaining his unbeaten record over hurdles in the process. There’s a good chance that this longer trip will bring out further improvement, so he makes plenty of appeal. Hillcrest and Minella Cocooner are both highly progressive so rate the main threats.

FOURTH RACE 3.20 ABOUT THREE MILES (2M 7F 214YDS) FOR FIVE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE CAZOO HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 5) (Go North Red Rum Series Qualifier) Total race value £9600 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3422, 2nd £1711, 3rd £855, 4th £428, 5th £280, 6th £280. (Penalty Value £4465.72) Weights raised 6lbs and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): C Longsdon (11 wins from 87 runners, 13%) runs THE WISE TRAVELLER TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): H Daly (4 wins from 9 runners, 44%) runs BRETNEY LONGEST TRAVELLER: FREDDY FANATAPAN trained by W Kittow, Cullompton, 242 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

If a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) helps BRETNEY bounce back from a poor run last time this could be a good chance for him as he’d been in fine form prior to that.

The form of Lough Salt’s belated first chase success over C&D has been franked so he’s the main threat unless first-time blinkers make a difference to The Wise Traveller.

It could be another 1-2 for Henry de Bromhead but in a different order, with A PLUS TARD, who should be in his prime at 8, taken to turn the tables on last year’s winner Minella Indo. The latter has yet to really fire this term but he’s always saved his best for this meeting (2 wins and a second) and can provide a bigger threat than Galvin, who pipped the selection at Leopardstown over Christmas.

PLAY SMARTER

BOB AND CO was still going well when unseating 3 out in this last year and he went on to make amends when edging out Billaway in the Champion Hunters at Punchestown in April. Paul Nicholls charge made a respectable return when second in a steadily-run race at Haydock and shades the vote over Billaway, who’s been second in the last 2 renewals. The up-and-coming Winged Leader is another to consider.

PLAY SMARTER

ELIMAY had to settle for second behind a very classy stablemate in the inaugural running of this but can go one better now. Mount Ida beat the selection at Fairyhouse in January but there is a worry she’ll jump out to her right back on a left-handed track.

She got away with it in the Kim Muir last year but may not do so against an opponent of Elimay’s calibre. Concertista is best of the rest.

PLAY SMARTER

ADAMANTLY CHOSEN is highly progressive and goes through his races like one who will be suited by the nature of this event, so he gets the nod in front of Chemical Energy, who fits a similar mould. Needless to say, there’s a whole host of other interesting contenders from Ireland, while Langer Dan (second in last year’s renewal) looks the pick of the British contingent.
