Our View on the Doncaster Card
Three races worth a view, scored on market position, official ratings, recent form and yard form. Our reasoning is shown so you can disagree with it.
Al Jabbar is the strongest case on the card at 15/8. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
Berkshire Regal makes more sense each-way at 6/1. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
Desert Castle is the strongest case on the card at 4/5. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form. Only 6 line up, so there is little each-way value here.
Sergei Diaghilev makes more sense each-way at 4/1. Recent form reads well against these. Only 6 line up, so there is little each-way value here.
Twilight Calls is the strongest case on the card at 5/1. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form. In a 22-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
Getreadytorumble makes more sense each-way at 6/1. Recent form reads well against these. In a 22-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
