Doncaster Race 2 - Betfred St Leger Trial Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
HATTEEN (5) aims to turn two runner-up finishes into a win. Placed second attempting a novice at Nottingham on seasonal reappearance then filled the same spot at Newbury. Worth giving thought as may go one better. ACCORDING TO MARK (3) also delivered two second place finishes racing at Redcar and Pontefract. Provides initial outing as a gelding and is expected to challenge. BRAVE HUNTER (4) lost out by a neck when runner-up contesting a handicap at Newmarket (July). Adopting first-time cheekpieces rates a definite contender. COUNT BEZUKHOV (1) cannot be discounted after a latest 0.5L victory at The Curragh.

Third-up today. First-up 2nd in a small field at Haydock Park on April 25 over 2400m, 2 len behind Ravenspire with 59kg at $11. Last start ran last of 13 at Epsom Downs in the G1 The Derby on June 6 over 2400m, slow going 43 len behind Christmas Day carrying 58kg at $81. Placed two of four runs but would need to lift sharply on latest efforts.

Second-up. First start 2nd of 7 at Ripon on April 16 over 2200m, 11 len behind Urchin carrying 56kg at $4.30. Went for a spell before returning 2nd in a small field at Pontefract on June 29 over 2400m, neck behind Alfred Wincham with 58kg at $2.50. Fitter but facing a tougher assignment and doesn't rate highly.
