Doncaster Race 8

Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap

Stake: $16,738

ANALOGICAL (6) is yet to finish outside the top two in four starts this season. Won narrowly by a neck at Pontefract eleven days ago. Leading contender. BELGRAVIAN (7) was a good 2L winner at this venue two starts back before a second at Chelmsford next time. Can return to winning ways. KENTUCKY RIVER (8) failed to place past six attempts including finishing fifth last time at Haydock Park. Possibilities. THE GRAND VISIR (1) looks interesting on seasonal reappearance making first start for a new yard.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start 4th of 10 at Hexham on June 14 over 3200m, 11 len behind Getaway Frankie with 73kg at $3.80. The race before that won by 1.5 len at Kelso May 25 over 3200m defeating Green Bonnet with 71kg at $1.50. Can do much better this time.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; won by a neck at Pontefract July 8 over 2400m defeating Neoma with 57.5kg at $2.50. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on June 6 over 2400m, 2 len behind Belgravian carrying 61kg at $3.80. Gets every chance to continue the good run of form.
