This is trappy, with a chance taken on BALLYCALLAN FAME who returned from a lay-off to win at a similar time last year and her second in her sole point provides hope that she’ll take to fences. Across The Line and Thyme White are obvious dangers, but the former looked relucant on occasions when scoring at Southwell, while the latter tried to run out and unseated last time so they come with risks. 1-2-3: 1.BALLYCALLAN FAME (IRE) 2.ACROSS THE LINE (IRE) 3.THYME WHITE (FR) KEY colours

FIFTH RACE 2.13 THREE MILES ABOUT HALF A FURLONG (3M 84YDS) FOR THREE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE VISIT attheraces.com HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 3) Total race value £10500 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3797, 2nd £1899, 3rd £949, 4th £475, 5th £280, 6th £280, 7th £280, 8th £280. (Penalty Value £4955.86) Weights raised 3lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (16-21): D Skelton (18 wins from 102 runners, 18%) runs STARSKY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (9 wins from 48 runners, 19%) runs STARSKY LONGEST TRAVELLER: SKATMAN trained by P Nicholls, Ditcheat, 209 miles. RACE SUMMARY

Impossible to rule any of these out so at the likely odds it could be worth chancing BIG BAD BEAR. He went well for a long way before fading into third on return at Musselburgh earlier this month and, having dropped 2lb below his last winning mark, Nicky Richards’course winner gets the vote. Wbee is chasing an impressive 5-timer so he’s feared most on reappearance, ahead of Starsky. 1-2-3: 1.BIG BAD BEAR (IRE) 2.WBEE (IRE) 3.STARSKY (IRE) KEY colours

The chief protagonists here appear to be ZAMBELLA and Kapga de Lily. The latter is a thoroughly likeable mare and not opposed lightly, for all that this represents a step up in grade, but if she’s in the same form as when scoring at Aintree Zambella will prove a tough nut to crack.

HORSE WELFARE COMES FIRST AT DONCASTER At every race meeting at Doncaster our top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. We have a dedicated team of highly qualiﬁed vets and doctors following the action at all times and a horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting. Use of Screens It is our policy to erect green screens around any horse requiring veterinary attention. This does NOT reﬂect the severity of any injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!
