Doncaster Race 6

Sky Sports Racing Virgin 535 Handicap Hurdle

Stake: $21,715

PYFFO (4) won four times for previous connections. Third at Wincanton (4023m) debuting for trainer Harry Derham. Steps back up in trip and holds potential to improve further. BUGISE SEAGULL (1) was G1-placed hurdling last season. Pulled up tackling a novices chase last time out. Dangerous to ignore attempting hurdles. QUICK DRAW (3) has a significantly lower hurdle rating when compared to his chase mark. Less than his best at Cheltenham most recently. This seems more suitable. SUPER SURVIVOR (6) is another talented chaser with a lower hurdle mark. Stamina test to suit.
