Finished seventh over six furlongs at Ascot in October, but was beaten just three lengths in Class 2 and merits respect on that effort. He drops to Class 4 from a mark of 85, 2lb lower than at Ascot, making this a less demanding assignment on paper. Today's soft ground presents a different test from the good to firm at Ascot, so he still has to reproduce that form in these conditions. Saffie Osborne brings encouraging recent form to the saddle, having ridden seven winners from 44 mounts during the past fortnight.

Won over five furlongs on good to soft at Musselburgh on 30 September, showing he remains capable of success in Class 4 company. A 3lb rise to 83 asks more of him at the weights, with today's race also a furlong further. His six-furlong Catterick win in October 2025 supports the return to this trip, while his Sandown success that August shows he can handle soft ground. Michael Appleby's six winners from 22 runners in the past fortnight are another positive for the veteran's chance.

Won over six furlongs on soft ground at Windsor in August, so today's conditions suit a horse who has been running well. His September third in a Class 3 at Haydock, beaten a length and a half on heavy, gives him solid claims back in Class 4. He remains on 83, 4lb above his Windsor winning mark, but that Haydock effort suggests the rise is manageable. A second over this course and distance on heavy in November 2025 adds encouragement for his return to Doncaster.

Beaten just a quarter of a length when third over six furlongs at Kempton in October, he arrives with a strong recent effort behind him. Successes over six furlongs at Goodwood in July and Redcar in August underline how well this trip suits him. Today's mark of 81 is just 2lb above the Redcar winning rating, and his Kempton effort suggests he can be competitive from it. His fifth in a Class 2 at Ayr in September, four lengths behind on soft, also offers encouragement for today's return to turf.

Won over six furlongs at Redcar in July and finished a close second at Newmarket in August, both on good to firm ground. His subsequent efforts have been less persuasive, although tenth here on 13 September left him just four and a quarter lengths behind the winner. Today's mark of 80 remains 6lb above his July winning rating, so he still needs more than that Redcar performance. A close second over this course and distance on soft in September 2024 offers useful encouragement for the conditions he faces today.

His latest eleventh at York on 9 October, beaten eleven and a half lengths over five furlongs, leaves him with something to prove. The mark of 79 is now 1lb below his rating for his five-furlong York win in July, which gives him some scope. The extra furlong is supported by his six-furlong Ripon success in April, achieved from today's rating on good to soft ground. Today's soft is a different test from good to soft; he finished fourth on soft at Hamilton in September 2025, beaten five and a half lengths.

His third over six furlongs in a Class 4 at Haydock on 4 September, beaten five and a half lengths on heavy ground, was a respectable effort. He faces soft ground here from a mark of 78, 2lb lower than for that run, giving him a little more room at the weights. He is also 16lb below his winning rating at Jebel Ali in March 2024, although that success came on fast ground. Ray Dawson brings useful course experience, with 11 Doncaster winners from 87 rides.

Went very close over this course and distance on good ground in May before winning over six furlongs at Leicester in June. That gives him something to draw on back at Doncaster, although his October run at Salisbury was disappointing, finishing 14th on soft, beaten twelve and a quarter lengths. His mark has eased 2lb to 78, but he needs to show more on soft ground again today. Jack Channon and George Bass have teamed up for three winners from nine runners here, a small but encouraging course record.

Won over five and a half furlongs on good to soft at York on 6 September, establishing his effectiveness in this grade. He followed that with fourth over five furlongs at Ayr on 17 September, beaten a length and a half, another creditable effort. Today's rating of 74 is 5lb above his York winning mark, so he faces a stiffer task at the weights. Six furlongs on soft presents different conditions from York's five and a half furlongs on good to soft; he was seventh over today's trip on soft at Ayr on 20 June, beaten six and a quarter lengths.

Finished eighth over seven and a half furlongs at Beverley on 22 September, beaten eight and a quarter lengths, and needs to show more. He returns to six furlongs, a furlong and a half shorter, with his rating down another 3lb to 72. His most recent start at this trip brought a defeat by 31 and three quarters of a length at Redcar on 29 July, which tempers enthusiasm. A close second at Chester on heavy ground in June 2024 offers some encouragement for today's soft, provided he can revive that older form.

His latest run needs forgiving after he finished 13th over five furlongs at York on 9 October, beaten twenty-two and a half lengths. The return to six furlongs offers encouragement, with his third at Carlisle in August, beaten half a length, showing he can compete over this trip. Now rated 73, he is 8lb below the mark for his York win in October 2025, giving him scope if rediscovering that form. He was also third over this course and distance on soft in October 2025, so these conditions hold no obvious fears.

His fifth over seven furlongs on heavy ground at Ayr on 29 September, beaten four and three quarters of a length, offered a little encouragement. A mark of 68 is 19lb below his winning rating at Thirsk in May 2024, giving him scope if he can recapture that ability. However, he was beaten nine and a half lengths when eighth over today's six furlongs on soft ground at Ripon on 1 September. His seven-furlong Catterick win on soft in October 2022 shows the ground itself need not be a barrier.

Won over six furlongs on good ground at Pontefract on 5 October, confirming his wellbeing after some solid placed efforts during the summer. A 2lb rise to 81 asks a little more at the weights, but he drops from Class 3 to Class 4 today. His second at Ripon on 1 September, beaten a length over this trip on soft ground, gives direct encouragement that today's conditions will suit. David Nolan brings plenty of Doncaster experience, having ridden 23 winners at the course.
