Doncaster Race 4 - Spooky Spectacular Fireworks At Doncaster Racecourse Nursery
This looks good placement by Charlie Appleby to ensure that NATIONAL HONOUR (1) can complete a hat-trick. Form of his impressive nursery debut success at Kempton (1400m) was given a boost when the second went one spot better next time out. He certainly looks like the most appealing option here. ROCK STEADY BEAT (4) finished a fair third over 1400m at Musselburgh last time. Might be the one to capitalise should the main selection falter. He landed a Redcar seller prior and does bring proven form with ease in the ground. SHADOW KING (2) struggled in a competitive York nursery last time. Could find this more suitable after a break. SCIENZA (3) rounds out the quartet.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.3 len at Kempton Park All Weather on September 14 over 1400m defeating Solar Swing with 59kg at $2.40. The start before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Thirsk on August 14 over 1400m defeating Gold Key carrying 60.5kg at $1.20. Form good for this and looks one of the major hopes.

He is resuming after a nine weeks break. Finished off last campaign 11th of 18 at York August 20 over 1400m, 18 len behind Mia Fantasia carrying 59kg at $29. On debut ran last in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) April 14 over 1000m, 6 len behind Adaay Of Scarlett with 60.5kg at $6.50. The least likely to win in this small field.

At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 14 at York on October 9 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Nakila Sun carrying 56kg at $67. The run before that 5th of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather on September 4 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Sontsivka carrying 60.5kg at $41. Unlikely to threaten.

Racing well recently. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Musselburgh on September 30 over 1400m, 4 len behind Beauty For Love carrying 61kg at $5. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Redcar on September 15 over 1200m defeating Bigalo carrying 59kg at $5. Worth including.
