Doncaster Race 4 - Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Handicap Hurdle

I'M A LUMBERJACK (2) is racing consistently with two wins and two placed efforts past six starts including placing second in a Newbury handicap hurdle last month. May go one better. SMOKERINGINTHEDARK (6) also brings consistent form delivering four placed efforts previous six outings. Second in the Hogmaneigh Handicap Hurdle at Musselburgh and expected to challenge. STORMING GEORGE (1) was an impressive 12L winner of a novice hurdle at this track before finishing last of six in the G1 Formby Novice's Hurdle at Aintree. Interesting back down in grade. BLUEGRASS (4) cannot be discounted after a latest third at Taunton.

Useful gelding. Last outing came from midfield; finished third of 10 runners at Taunton on January 8 over 3800m, 3 len behind Brave Knight with 74.5kg at $29. The start before that; made some head-way from midfield; finished eighth of 10 runners at Huntingdon on December 7 over 3200m, on slow going 16 len behind We're Red And Blue carrying 75.5kg at $15. Hard to fault on his best form.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only had one start last when he won by a nose Newbury on March 22 2024 over 4120m defeating Ballybentragh with 71kg at $11 in a hurdle. Returns in tougher company and happy enough to watch this time.
