Saturday 23rd March

We were a shade unlucky to see the well fancied Take No Chances and big priced Hermino AA just get touched off in a close finish at Newbury yesterday but excellent runs from both of them. A decent run too from Mahler Moon to place in the other tip race.
 
The 2024 Turf Flat season starts today at Doncaster and we'll focus on that Meeting with the 2 main tip races. There is a decent NH Card at Newbury but nothing really stands out, must point out the very exciting NH Trainer Championship Title run in and all eyes on Skelton and Paul Nicholls so we'll start to highlight runners each day from tomorrow, not forgetting Henderson and Mullins who may get involved but who will need big race wins at Ayr and Aintree. The NH Cards at Bangor have few runners and not really an attackable big field handicap respectively.
 
So let's get on with Doncaster tips from our Northern Expert and a pretty clear and concise analysis of what he thinks are key early season traits and form pointers.
