Doncaster Race 5

Grace And Dotty Handicap Chase

Stake: $18,062

NICKELFORCE (5) was unlucky to not land the hat-trick after unseating mid-race at Leicester. Can regain the winning thread if there are no mistakes with his jumping. Top choice. PEARLY ISLAND (4) has not finished outside the top three for almost a year. Was just beaten 1L on reappearance to place second at Warwick. Likely to keep that consistency going. Dangerous. SAGEBURG COUNTY (2) steps markedly down in grade after a 14L fourth contesting a class two handicap chase at Ascot. Claims. ENVIOUS EDITOR (6) ran into a recent G1 winner two starts back which offers a major form boost. Warrants consideration.

Useful type. Last run lost his rider at Leicester 4yo+ HCP APP CHSE (C4) on December 1 over 4020m. Race before won by 0.8 len Ludlow 4yo+ APP CHSE HCP (C5) on October 24 over 4000m defeating Superbolt with 74kg at $3 in a steeplechase. Rates strongly and is among the better hopes.
