Doncaster 2.50

Doncaster 2.50 2 Buckle Street / 3 Tanarpino

A 3 Mile Handicap Hurdle on Soft Going that may improve before the Off; but a cloudy day so not markedly. The key for me here is
proven form at this trip, the likes of Early Retirement and Work Du Bretau have yet to conclusively prove form at trip and the latter does not seem well
handicapped. Demographic is one to note but just best watched on seasonal  debut and Ballyben could be very well handicapped but a long time since

he showed us in a Hurdle race whether that is still a good mark or not, ticks every box other than any recent hurdles runs.

You can't knock the proven ability in this type of race of BUCKLE STREET and TANARPINO; they are closely matched on a recent run; you can ignore
the efforts (or lack of) of BUCKLE STREET on Saturday when it refused to race, it got steamed up in preliminaries after a bad experience on the way
to the races and the fact they enter and come here indicates the horse is ready to run. IF we pick him we have to pick TANARPINO who is weighted
to finish upsides, a solid and consistent horse at this level at this trip who deserves to win one. NOTE SKYBET paying odds to 4th place; so use if
you can and if you can't and just want one in the race, it would be the first named BUCKLE STREET. I have noted the chances of Wicked Spice in
the "Mentions"; has won Chase and Hurdles off this kind of mark and may be one to pop up or add to your Tricast Perms.
