Doncaster recap — Key moments

Doncaster served up a competitive card on a Good to Firm surface (watered; 6.8). The highlight was Hatteen’s authoritative success in the Betfred St Leger Trial, while Quest For Stars produced a stirring late rally to take the Betfred Champagne Trial at 18/1. Juvenile and handicap company were both lively: Room Fourteen and Nanny Park looked smart in their respective handicaps and Celtic Chariot edged out Norcross Brow in a tight finish in the Nifty 50. The finale saw amateur Miss Pippa Brown guide Dorney Lake to victory, and Billy Loughnane enjoyed a highly productive afternoon with multiple big-race rides, including winners Nanny Park, Room Fourteen and Return Of The Gods.

The Effect of the Draw

Low numbers can be favoured on the soft so watch out for soft ground whenever there’s a big field on the straight course. On faster ground, the draw doesn’t make much difference. Low numbers are best in big fields on the round course. Concentrate on stalls 1-8 in straight-course races on soft ground (eighteen runners), cross out the top six stalls when fourteen runners over the round mile and the top eight stalls with more than eighteen runners.
