Small fields means only ten places are up for grabs at Doncaster today, but we'll do our best, anyway.
14-30 - Only the four runners, but Tasman Tiger is hard to recommend on what she's shown in a couple of bumpers while Adaria also has plenty to prove and is bred to need further than this. That leaves just Royal Hush, who will be suited by the step up in trip, and newcomer Bella Montagna, who's bred to be useful and is from a yard that are capable of readying a newcomer.
15.00 - Sairaam's fitness has to be taken on trust, but she's returned to her last winning mark and this trip on good to firm going should be ideal for her. Musical Festival is another who's making his comeback but he's still relatively lightly raced and had excuses since getting off the mark at Ayr last summer.
15.35 - Boundaries isn't the strongest of finishers, but his speed makes him hard to keep out of the frame nonetheless, and his third at Thirsk on his return recently proves he's trained on well. Look Who's Kool beat a couple of subsequent winners on his final start as a juvenile and should have further progress in him being a half-brother to the smart Now Look Here.
16.10 - A very tight handicap and the withdrawal of Pertemps Networks means coming third is now worthless. Fourth Generation is arguably open to the most improvement than any of these, lightly raced and having plenty of physical scope, and he hails from a yard whose runners continue to run well. Patavium hides no secrets from the handicapper, but he's very reliable and has winning form over this course and distance.
16.45 - Another four-runner event, but this looks trickier than the opening race on the card. Oasis Storm pulled too hard upped to this trip on his return last time, while Baharat hasn't looked the most straightforward on his previous two starts, which leaves us with the reliable George Woolf and the top weight Halfspin, whose maiden win last time has since been boosted by the third.
17.20 - Bosambo took another step in the right direction when runner-up at Redcar recently and should play a big part from the same mark here. Another Citizen remains with potential and this step up in trip could well be the answer.

A choice of meetings at which to play today but, with field sizes looking manageable and a Frankie Dettori-ridden banker, Bath appears as the safest Placepot proposition....
For all there's plenty of quality down at Ascot, Pontefract appeals as the better of the two afternoon Flat meetings for placepot purposes....
A much calmer day of racing today and it's over to Lingfield for the Placepot......
