FOURTH RACE 6.55

ABOUT SIX FURLONGS (6F ABT 2YDS) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE HARRISON COLLEGE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)

Total prize fund £18400 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £7476, 2nd £3739, 3rd £1869, 4th £935, 5th £467, 6th £234. (Penalty Value £9483.36) SS

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): K Ryan (17 wins from 166 runners, 10%) runs FAST AND LOOSE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G Boughey (7 wins from 31 runners, 23%) runs POCKET THE PROFIT WEIGHTWATCHER: VENTUROUS won off a handicap mark of 95, his rating is now down 9lb to 86.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ABERAMA GOLD trained by K Dalgleish, Carluke, 231 miles.

FAST AND LOOSE ended 2022 on the up and resumes on an attractive mark too so Kevin Ryan’s 4-y-o is strongly fancied to make a winning return. C&D scorer Aberama Gold is also weighted to have a big say and rated second best ahead of PocketThe Profit, who wasn’t seen to best effect when seventh at Wolverhampton last time

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MABEL JANE trained by S Kittow, Cullompton, 242 miles.

VALSAD’S truncated but promising 2022 campaign ended with a good third in a Class 2 handicap off this mark over 1 3/4m at Haydock in July Dropping back in trip looks a good move and he may well have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Another who is likely to appreciate going back down in trip is Haarar, who probably found 2m too much of a test at Nottingham. He is second choice ahead of Matchless and Billy No Mates.

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!
