Doncaster Race 2 - Napoleons Casino & Restaurant Supports Wpcc Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
REGAL ULIXES (2) improved from a debut third at Goodwood to win by 1.75L at Newbury second-up during September. First-time hood is added making seasonal reappearance. Leading contender. DAIQUIRI BAY (1) returned to racing this season with a 5L victory at the Chester May Festival last month. Dangerous and can double up. ANTRIM (3) disappointed both career starts so far. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time which could bring about more. YAA MIN (7) represents notable connections. Debut seventh is forgiven.

Third race start. Promising on debut 3rd of 12 at Newbury on October 25 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Centigrade carrying 60.5kg at $34. Went for a break before returning won by 5 len at Chester May 7 over 2100m defeating Mister Winston carrying 60.5kg at $3.80. Sure to go well again. Strips fitter and is well-placed to take this out.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 5th of 7 at Great Yarmouth on April 5 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Alpine Trail carrying 59kg at $2.30. Last start ran last of 7 at Haydock Park on April 26 over 2300m, 10 len behind Opportunity with 59kg at $3. Better than the last run suggests and is among the chances.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, 5th of 10 at Wolverhampton on March 27 over 1900m, 5 len behind Circus Of Rome with 56kg at $67. Second-up 5th of 7 at Chelmsford on May 8 over 2000m, 8 len behind Cayman Dancer with 57.5kg at $6.50. Looks tested again.

At debut, ran last of 9 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 16 over 2000m, 32 len behind Spanish Voice carrying 59kg at $7. Can't see him playing a major role.
