Doncaster Race 1 - Bet365 Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

REAL QUARTZ (2) bids for a hat-trick in as many career starts after a victory on sole point-to-point scoring by 4.5L. Followed up with a 3L success on rules and hurdle debut at Carlisle last month. Major player. FRESHERS WEEK (1) failed to land three in a row placing second on most recent appearance at Ludlow a month ago. Gained wins in a point-to-point and at Market Rasen previously. Dangerous. UPTOWN DANDY (4) is racing consistently with four consecutive placed efforts including when second at Wetherby. May go one better. NAME ME NICELY (3) aims for improvement after finishing seventh at Fontwell Park.

Third-up today. Resuming came from midfield and won by 0.8 len Market Rasen on October 14 over 4140m defeating Stumps Or Slips carrying 69kg at $11 in a hurdle. Second run from a spell finished second in a small field at Ludlow on November 6 over 4200m, 7 len behind Tiptoptim carrying 72.5kg at $7.50. No surprise to see him in the mix.

Racing second-up. Showed plenty of promise winning at debut as to post a big 4.5 len win. Boulta P2p on November 23 2024 over 4828m defeating Northanger Abbey carrying 60kg in a jumps. Returned from break favourite; tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len Carlisle on November 10 over 3400m slow going defeating Oh Clare with 71.5kg at $1.20 in a hurdle. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.
