Doncaster Race 2 - Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

REALLYNTRUTHFULLY (3) looked much improved registering a narrow runner-up effort in a 3950m Hereford hurdle. Leading contender. LAST RODEO (2) shaped progressively when a comfortable 9L winner of a 3900m maiden hurdle at Lingfield. Main danger bringing form. DRAMATIC ENCORE (4) won by 2.75L latest tackling 4100m at Huntingdon. Warrants consideration. DE KINGPIN (1) might figure prominently against this small field based on a head second making penultimate appearance at Newbury.

Resumes off a 41 day letup. Last run pulled up at Sandown Park on February 1 over 4000m. The run before finished second of 8 runners at Newbury on December 18 over 4120m, on slow going a head behind Captain Bellamy carrying 70kg at $7.50. Looks to have the job ahead.

Useful type. Last run favourite; won by 9 len Lingfield on February 20 over 3900m slow track defeating Washington Singer with 72.5kg at $3.50 in a hurdle. Race before finished third of 12 starters at Taunton on January 8 over 3300m, on slow going 7 len behind The Hardest Geezer carrying 73.5kg at $67. Making headway every start. Worth including.

Useful gelding. Freshened for 30 days. Last start finished second of 10 starters at Hereford on February 12 over 3950m, a nose behind Oh My Johnny with 75.5kg at $3.30. Run before finished fifth of 10 starters at Windsor on January 19 over 4000m, slow track; 7 len behind Guard Duty carrying 76kg at $11. Impressed last start. Recent form suggests a big run is on the cards.

Last run won by 2.75 len Huntingdon on February 20 over 4100m defeating Sea Presenting carrying 72.5kg at $11 in a hurdle. Start before finished fourth of 8 starters at Huntingdon on January 23 over 3170m, on slow going 7 len behind Philippa's Choice with 71.5kg at $4.30. Got up for brave win last time out but this is harder. Not sure the good recent form will stack up this time.
