20:05 Doncaster — Join Us To Walk As One Handicap model predictions

Lord Bertie (FR)

0%

Eight visits to Doncaster yielded one soft-ground win over this trip in October; made an encouraging return when sixth of 19 in March but didn't back that up when last behind Novello Lad (again C&D, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's not the most uncomplicated but mark is fine if he can bounce back.

Misunderstood (FR)

0%

Group 3 win and Group 1 third in France as a 2yo but lost his form in 2025 and beat only one home in both starts for this yard last month; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

Photosynthesis (IRE)

0%

Off the mark for this stable at Newmarket in September; lively in the betting for both starts this spring and he built on a midfield finish at Newbury when fourth of ten at Ascot (again 6f, good) four weeks ago; respected from the same mark.

Smart Vision (GB)

0%

Versatile regards ground; six wins include two here (7f/5f) and he was second in this race last year; yet to get going this term but there was the faintest hint he might be on the way back at Chester (5f) last time and maybe the return to this trip can help; mark fine.

American Style (GB)

0%

Goes well fresh and he scored on his seasonal/handicap debut last April; again ran well when close third off this mark on his comeback (also Ripon, 6f) this term; he didn't back it up when suffering a heavy defeat at York last time, albeit from a poor draw, but this represents a drop back in grade so he's not dismissed.

Novello Lad (GB)

0%

Track regular who added a second C&D win to his record on good to soft three weeks ago; handicapper handed him an 8lb rise but that looked a career best and he can never be discounted at this venue.

Mythical Phoenix (IRE)

0%

A solid run when fourth in this race (good) last year but he struggled subsequently, with slow starts also becoming a feature; handicapped to be competitive if a 174-day break has freshened him up.

Papa Cocktail (IRE)

0%

Exposed sprinter who wins in his turn these days but his C&D record reads 312; that latest visit was just one month ago and he competes from the same mark as when far from disgraced in midfield at York a fortnight ago; each-way contender.

Bright (IRE)

0%

Both visits here came in the summer of 2024 and yielded a third followed by a win, both at 6f on good to firm; that was his last success on turf but he scored on AW three starts back and last month's return to grass from the widest stall at Chester can be ignored; not ruled out.

Kats Bob (GB)

0%

Tends to lead; hit the ground running by winning his first four starts for Ruth Carr last year; plenty of good efforts followed including when he beat 18 others to score at York (6f, good to firm) in June; now 2lb below that last winning mark so a handicapping case to be made, but he did not sustain his effort when finishing well held at York a fortnight ago.

Media Darling (GB)

0%

Made her debut only ten months ago and she bagged an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm) in August on second start; couldn't defy a penalty on AW next time, while a swing at a Listed race proved beyond her when last seen; look for market interest on this handicap/seasonal debut.

Betties Bay (GB)

0%

Rampant mare who completed a four-timer when coming back from a break to score at Catterick (6f, good) last month; that made it 4-4 for this yard and she's still competitively weighted on form for her previous stable; impossible to ignore.

Alondra (GB)

0%

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Tough Enough (GB)

0%

Dual turf winner who last won in August 2023; had reduced mark and regular hood removed when back to some form for second of six at Southwell (6f, AW; Alondra third) in April; could be rediscovering his level and he's not dismissed from the same mark.
