17:10 Doncaster — Summer Saturday Series At Doncaster Racecourse Apprentice Handicap model predictions

Animato (GB)

0%

Five-time Flat winner but last two were over 2m at Catterick in May 2024; well handicapped on old form but has mixed record since switched to hurdling in his last seven starts; returns after a break but his tactical speed will be tested back in this sphere and others are preferred.

Sweet Kiss (GB)

0%

Won three times under Jake Dickson last August/September (1m2f, good to firm-good to soft); no impact in two runs this season but she caught the eye with her late headway at Carlisle (1m3f, good) last Friday; has claims if she can build on that and she won't mind what the weather does.

Division Day (GB)

0%

Dual 1m6f Flat winner who has finished runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles (2m/2m4f) in his last two runs; returns after four months off but he's only 1lb higher than for his last win and it would be a positive if the forecast rain arrives; needs a close look back on the Flat.

It's Only Fun (IRE)

0%

Took advantage of a reduced mark when battling well to score at 20-1 at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces reapplied) two weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains well treated on old form and his first win was on turf; shortlisted.

The Ubermensch (GER)

0%

0-7 but he's finished runner-up in two of his four handicaps and he kept on well when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added.

Muhib (GB)

0%

Some creditable efforts this spring including when third at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month; hard to rule out another good run but he didn't really fire at Pontefract last time and his overall record is now 0-23.
