Doncaster Race 5 - Steve Cawkwell Memorial Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
KHAFIZ (1) was off the mark on second attempt posting a narrow success after a break in a 1400m novice contest at Kempton AW. Second runner has placed at Royal Ascot since boosting form. Top chance. BINTOFIE (9) shaped with credit first up during April when 7L sixth in a 1400m maiden at Newbury. Improvement anticipated. PATRICIA R (8) made a winning debut a month ago when a narrow winner of a 1400m maiden at Thirsk. Makes appeal. BREAKDANCER (4) warrants a market check.

Second-up. First start 14th of 20 at Newbury on May 17 2024 over 1200m, 8 len behind Mr Chaplin carrying 60.5kg at $11. Went for a break before returning favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a head at Kempton Park All Weather May 28 over 1400m defeating Spy Chief carrying 58.5kg at $1.90. Back in fine order and should be thereabouts.

Third race start. First start 7th of 12 at Chelmsford on November 9 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Elements Of Fire with 59kg at $6. Went for a break before returning 8th of 13 at Wolverhampton on May 27 over 1700m, 13 len behind Nahraan with 58.5kg at $5.50. Will benefit from that run and is definitely worth including.
