Doncaster Race 6 - Virgin Bet Handicap Hurdle (Gbb Race)

KAMSINAS (2) has been plying his trade this season over fences and in Graded hurdle events. Entitled to find this a lot easier back to a more realistic level. Beaten only 1L off the same rating in this race twelve months ago. Big shout. BIG TICKET (5) will likely give a bold sight from the front having made all when shedding his maiden tag at Lingfield in latest. Likely challenger. MINELLA RESCUE (1) brings class after finishing runner-up in a Grade 1 novice last Spring. Off a break and on a stiff mark is a chance nonetheless. DOCPICKEDME (7) enjoys this track and drops back to hurdling. Can take advantage receiving a lower hurdle rating.

Resuming today after five months. Finished off last preparation 8 of 10 starters at Uttoxeter October 17 over 4000m, 11 len behind Dargiannini carrying 76kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign 2 in a small field at this track March 2 over 4900m, 0.8 len behind Thank You Ma'am carrying 73kg at $3.80. Capable and looks a top-three chance.

Freshened for 35 days. Last outing finished fifth in a small field at Cheltenham in the G2 Cleeve Hurdle on January 24 over 4800m, on slow going 22 len behind Ma Shantou with 71kg at $41. Run before finished fifth in a small field at Cheltenham in the G2 Relkeel Hurdle on January 1 over 4100m, 9 len behind Kabral Du Mathan carrying 70kg at $34. Right in the mix if anywhere near his best.

Resumes off a 58 day letup. Last outing got back early finished seventh of 9 starters at Musselburgh on January 1 over 4000m, 14 len behind Fasol with 73kg at $10. The start before that; won by 5 len this track on November 29 over 3900m on rain affected going defeating High Dancer carrying 73.5kg at $6.50 in a hurdle. Looking elsewhere.

Racing well. Freshened for 35 days. Last run finished fourth of 8 runners at this track on January 24 over 4800m, slow track; 10 len behind Dartmoor Pirate carrying 69.5kg at $8.50. Start before won by 1.0 len this track on December 13 over 4800m defeating Alcedo carrying 71kg at $5.50 in a steeplechase. Continues to improve. Cannot be ruled out - worth another chance.
