Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Resemblance heads our figures at Doncaster, and her rating of 90 makes her the one to beat in this Class 4 sprint over 6f on soft ground. She is only narrowly ahead of My Boo Boo on 88 and Bill The Bull on 86, so this is no formality, and Ongombo on 82 also has to be respected. Still, the top-rated runner has the edge on our numbers and gets the nod ahead of a field that is more spread out behind the first four. Resemblance is our selection.

Bill The Bull showed his hand with a win two starts back, then a fourth last time out just 14 days ago, so he arrives fit and in form, and he has run over today's trip. Our rating of 86 puts him third of eight, but carrying 135 lb is the main risk.

Charlie Fellowes 1/12
Ongombo bounced back from a ninth to win two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before, so he arrives fresh after 29 days. The risk is a fifth last time out and a mixed record, with 134 lb to carry from stall five.

Oisin Murphy
Brian Toomey 1/3
My Boo Boo arrives a winner last time out, with a second two starts back, and a fresh 23-day gap suits; he has run over today's trip, and our rating of 88 ranks him second of eight. The main risk is the 131 lb he carries from draw 3, off an official mark of 79.

George Wood
Jennie Candlish 1/3
Redline won twice in her last four starts, three and four starts back, but she's since finished an eighth and a ninth last time out after 43 days off. She has run over today's trip and going, yet 130 lb from draw 7 and a sixth-ranked rating of 77 leave her with plenty to prove.

David Allan
Tim Easterby 4/47
Bladey Lady arrives in sparkling form, a winner last time out and two starts back, with four wins in her last six, and she's fresh enough after 11 days; she has run over today's trip and going, though carrying 128 lb from draw 4 and ranked only fifth of eight by our rating tempers the enthusiasm.

Michael Bell 1/11
Resemblance arrives in good heart, third last time out and a winner two starts back, with a fresh 22-day gap and experience of today's trip and going. Our rating of 90 tops the field, and the one reservation is a seventh three starts back.

Lawrence Mullaney 0/2
Farasan is hard to fancy, having finished ninth last time out and eighth two starts back, and he is winless in his last five. He has run over today's trip and had a fourth three starts back, but our ranking of seventh of eight says plenty.

Barry McHugh
Richard & Peter Fahey 3/31
Pete's Angel is hard to fancy, winless in his last three and beaten into eighth two starts back, though a fourth last time out, 29 days ago, is a step forward and he has run over today's trip. Our rating of 62 puts him last of eight, and he is drawn eight.
