WELCOME
TO DONCASTER RACECOURSE
Ey Up! Welcome to Doncaster Racecourse for t’ second day o’ SBK Great Yorkshire Chase weekend. We’re reyt glad you’ve joined us ‘ere today for some top-class jumps racing as we celebrate everythin’ Yorkshire! If you’d like to brush up on your Yorkshire dialect, you’ll find The Great Yorkshire Dictionary inside your racecard. We would like to thank our sponsors SBK and EBF for their generous support of today’s fixture. We’d also like to welcome our friends from the West Yorkshire Greyhound Trust who are here today fundraising in the Exhibition Hall. There are 8 races on the card and our raceday presenter Bobby Beevers and resident tipster Roger Hart will be in the Parade Ring at around 11:45 to run through the racecard with you and hopefully pick you out some winners! Due to cancelled meetings around the country, Doncaster is delighted to host an additional Graded race today – the Grade 2 Warfield Mares’ Hurdle (from Ascot) at 14:40 with prize money totalling £45,000. This race is considered an important trial for the Cheltenham Festival. We hope you can join us for the Grimthorpe Chase weekend, which takes place on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd March, and is the final jumps fixture at Town Moor. Run at Doncaster each year, The Grimthorpe Chase is a National Hunt steeplechase that contains 19 jump fences. The distance has varied over time, but currently sits at a little over 3 miles and 2 furlongs. Considered the ultimate endurance test, this race is seen as a trial for the Aintree Grand National in April, as many winners (such as The Last Samuri and Definitely Red) have gone on to be favourites in the Merseyside race. Then on Saturday 23rd March, Doncaster Racecourse opens the British Flat Turf season – the greatest show - with The Lincoln! Sunday 24th March is The Lincoln Family Fun Day with lots of FREE entertainment and activities for the kids! We have lots of live entertainment planned for you after racing during our flat season at our Summer Saturday fixtures. These take place on Saturday 18th May, Saturday 1st June, Saturday 29th June, Saturday 20th July, Saturday 3rd August and Saturday 17th August. Make sure you’ve signed up to our e-newsletter at www.doncaster-racecourse.co.uk and follow us on social media DoncasterRaces to be the first to find out who’s performing! The four-day Betfred St Leger Festival kicks off on Thursday 12th September with Ladies Day; the Doncaster Cup is on Friday 13th September and then the flagship day of the festival – the Betfred St Leger is on Saturday 14th. The festival draws to a close with Leger Legends on Sunday 15th September at our St Leger Community Fun Day – a fun-filled raceday for the whole family to enjoy. We hope you have a champion day with us here today at Town Moor and as always, we welcome any feedback you may have. Rach Harwood, Executive Director

Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

DYSART ENOS has made a smooth transition from leading bumper performer to useful novice hurdler and Fergal O’Brien’s mare is impossible to oppose in her bid to maintain her unbeaten Rules record. Justus wasn’t far from his fairly useful Flat form when scoring at Catterick last time and he looks best placed to take advantage if the favourite underperforms, Miss Applejack was running below her bumper form when slipping up on hurdles bow but still makes appeal to complete the placings. 1-2-3: 1.DYSART ENOS (IRE) 2.JUSTUS (IRE) 3.MISS APPLEJACK KEY colours

The standard achieved by CHAMPAGNE TWIST when second at Cheltenham last time was good enough to win the majority of novices so, if he can repeat that, he should have the measure of Montecam, who also improved last time.

Lots with chances. PYFFO couldn’t build on his hurdling debut promise when fourth in the mud at Ffos Las but this useful bumper scorer is well worth siding with to bounce back in style now he goes into handicaps under much less testing conditions. Hashtag Boum is feared most on the back of his good recent second here, with in-form duo Paricolor and Jaytee also firmly in the picture.

TIMEFORM VIEW Point winner who has yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but it is still early days, particularly with this leading stable, and perhaps it’s thought he simply failed to stay 2 1/2m at Uttoxeter last time as he’s quickly dropped back to 2m.
