1835 Secret State
Smart efforts when defying big weights in ultra-competitive handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood. Advanced his form again when 2¾ lengths second in Great Voltigeur at York. Disappointed at Ascot final start but expected to bounce back.

1963 Phantom Flight
Smart colt. Three wins from 6 runs last year. 10/11, 8 lengths seventh of 11 to Royal Champion in listed race at Ayr (10f, good). Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Shortlist material.

Smart gelding. Good 3¼ lengths third of 8 to Lord North in Winter Derby (11/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 35 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Remains unexposed on AW.

Smart gelding. 9/2, creditable 3¼ lengths second of 8 to Lord North in Winter Derby at Lingfield (10f, AW) 35 days ago. That form has been boosted so not taken lightly.

Smart gelding. Three wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race at this course (12f, 9/2) by neck from Purple Ribbon, digging deep. Off 122 days. Respected under a penalty.

Race 2 Doncaster 15:00 Listed (Class 1) 6f

DSLR HORSE WGT JOCKEY TRAINER XP 1ST LT -% %
2884 El Caballo
Runner-up on debut but then reeled off 6 wins on the spin, latest when touching off Flaming Rib in the Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock last May. Possibly unsuited by conditions when joint-favourite for Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and not seen since. Interesting.

1621 Asjad
Took his form up a level for this yard last season, notching a third win over 6.5f here in September. Well backed but unable to get past the resolute Dakota Gold on final outing and should be in the mix on return (made a winning reappearance at Redcar 12 months ago).

9-10Daniel Tudhope James Hortonlocked4/14/10
14710 Fast Response
Took her form up several notches on testing ground last autumn, scoring at Nottingham and twice at this track (first one over 5f). Conditions should be in her favour to show that sort of form again so provided she's ready to roll, she can be in the shake-up after 5 months off.

1472 Commanche Falls
Really game sort who enjoyed another cracking season last year, landing the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood for second year running then filling the places on his next 3 starts. Never travelling when down the field over C&D in November but has an excellent record fresh so he's high on the shortlist.

1686 King's Lynn
Better than ever when landing Temple Stakes at Haydock last May but limitations exposed at the top level thereafter, latest when 6¾ lengths tenth of 18 to Kinross in Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (6f, good to soft). Not dismissed returning in calmer waters.

1553 Ehraz
Smart gelding who kept some good company in sprints last year, sixth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Made short work a couple of inferior rivals down in grade at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) when last seen 5 months ago and has been gelded in the interim.

2111 Vadream
It's now twelve runs without success but stepped up on her reappearance when runner-up in a minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February, conceding first run. Cheekpieces back on for this return to turf but others seemingly have more compelling claims.

9-5Kieran ShoemarkCharlie Felloweslocked12/19/125
2108 Tactical
Won Windsor Castle/Newmarket Group 2 as a 2-y-o and mostly in good form last term, finishing just out of the places in a blanket finish in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 7 months ago. Has since left Andrew Balding (150,000 gns) and been gelded but percentage call is to look elsewhere back sprinting.

16012 Wilderness Girl
Useful filly who showed improved form tackling heavy ground for the first time when runner-up in listed race at Longchamp (7f, heavy) back in October. Has since left Andrew Balding and needs to back that effort up returning from over 5 months off.

DSLR HORSE WGT JOCKEY TRAINER XP 1ST LT -% %
1592 Awaal
Looked a likely type for this race when bolting up on 1m Redcar handicap debut (soft) last autumn. That was only his fourth start so major surprise if there isn't more to come. Leading claims.

16912 Al Mubhir
Improved form encountering testing ground for the first time when winning 14-runner Haydock handicap (1m) on final 3-y-o start. Did that readily and it's probable this lightly-raced type will kick on again this year. Trainer has won this 4 times.

18915 Wanees
Largely progressive profile, bouncing back from a lesser run at Glorious Goodwood (failed to stay 1¼m) when seeing off a few of today's rivals over 1m at Haydock on his final 3-y-o start. Likely capable of better again this year.

2025 Atrium
Capped off a very solid 3-y-o campaign with a win in 16-runner C&D handicap (good to soft) in September, staying on to lead in the closing stages and beat Empirestateofmind by ½ length. Could have more to come this year. Respected.

14710 Baradar
Placed in Group 1 Futurity over C&D at 2. Spent the majority of the next 2 seasons in the doldrums but bounced back to form with a bang to make a winning start for new trainer George Boughey in a 7f course handicap (heavy) last November. Could be even more to come for this yard. Player.

1899 Montassib
Progressive last year, scoring at Wetherby and Goodwood before posting some good efforts in top-end handicaps in midsummer, including fourth in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot. Another fine run when second of 12 to Wanees over 1m at Haydock final start. Tongue tied first time.

16114 Jimi Hendrix
Excellent third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot prior to narrowly landing a 1m handicap at Newmarket July meeting. Not so good later in the seson but no shock were he to revive after a break. Won a soft-ground maiden on previous visit here.

1541 Migration
Smart performer who showed he can go well fresh and be very competitive off this sort of mark when going close in Newbury Sping Cup off 1 lb lower on last year's reappearance. Benoit de la Sayette takes a handy 3 lb off.

18921 Majestic
Took very well to the demands of a big-field handicap when landing the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f) on his final 4-y-o start. More on his plate off 7 lb higher here but his profile is one of steady progression.

1768 Empirestateofmind
Better than ever in second half of 2022, winning 16-runner event at Thirsk (1m) and excellent runner-up efforts on final 2 starts, chasing home Atrium over C&D (16 ran) before going down only to a Haggas improver (20 ran) at York. Evidently well suited to big-field handicaps.

16111 Bopedro
Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 and it didn't take him long to find his feet for this new yard in the second half of last season, culminating with fine second of 15 over 7f here (heavy) in October. Stable always to be feared in these events.

Bagged another 3 handicaps on turf last spring and acquitted himself with credit from higher marks later in season. Shaped as if retaining all his ability when seventh of 13 in Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton on return. Should be spot on now.

2122 Yanifer
Real success story for this yard, gaining fourth success of 2022 at Catterick (7f, heavy) in October. Not seen to best effect in Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton on reappearance and should be sharper with that run behind him.

Veteran but still very useful last year, reaching the frame in valuable handicaps at Leopardstown (7f, soft) and Ascot (1m, good to soft) last autumn. Only mid-division in this on last year's reappearance, though.

17013 Croupier
Improved to win at Windsor in September. Met trouble when fifth to Helm Rock at Haydock next time and straight back on the up when seeing off 13 rivals at Chelmsford on final start. Potential for better again in 2023 but his best form has come under different conditions than he'll face here.

Possibly not the eaisest to train (never had more than 3 outings in a season) but he did quickly develop into a very useful handicapper for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland. New connections acquired him for 22,000 gns last autumn.

AW novice winner who took a big jump forward when doubling his tally at Thirsk (1m, soft) in September. Respectable sixth of 12 to Wanees (Montassib second, Boardman fourth) on final start. Still fairly low-mileage for stable which hit the ground running last spring.

2116 Eilean Dubh
5-y-o who was most progressive in bagging some valuable prizes last term, latterly a 10-runner York handicap (1m) on final start in July. Entitled to have needed his first outing in 8 months at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago but he'll need a big step forward to go close here.
