Doncaster Race 7 - New Years Eve Gala Ball Handicap Hurdle
BATHGATE (5) was an impressive 13L winner over 3400m at Sedgefield. Now steps up in grade but can go close again. Serious player. GENTLEMAN BILL (2) did not land a hat-trick on seasonal reappearance and hurdle debut but followed up with a narrow victory at Bangor-on-Dee previously. Big threat. TWO AULD PALS (4) has been racing on the flat with a close neck second 32 days ago at Wolverhampton tackling 3300m. Could have a say. MARTY MCFLY (6) did not appreciate the step up in trip when second-to-last in the field. Claims back at his preferred distance.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. First-up finished third of 10 starters at Carlisle 4yo+ HDLE (C4) on October 17 over 3400m, slow track; 14 len behind I Wish You carrying 70kg at $3. Last start won by a nose Bangor-On-Dee 4yo+ HDLE (C4) on November 13 over 3300m defeating I'm A Lumberjack carrying 70kg at $7.50 in a hurdle. Making headway every start.

Resuming after a nine months break. Finished off last preparation 12 of 23 starters at Naas 4yo+ HDLE HCP April 4 over 4800m, 42 len behind Oneforgonzo with 74.5kg at $12. At debut 4 in a small field at Clonmel 5yo+ Bumper September 28 2023 over 3400m, 13 len behind Jet Setting Jim with 76kg at $8. Hard to recommend in this line-up without some strong support.
