RICHARD'S ROYAL RUMBLE AT DONCASTER

Cheltenham's been previewed, so now it's time to take a look at races from the other meetings today, including Doncaster's Skybet Chase.

Phillip Hobbs looks to have a strong hand in the race formerly known as the Great Yorkshire Chase (3:15). IF IN DOUBT looks a potential improver and AP McCoy in the saddle is a big plus. ROYAL PLAYER also seems to be a horse going places. His bold jumping should put him right in the equation.

1:30- ROYAL REGATTA ran a decent race behind Far West at Newbury last time out and has found a nice race here to notch up another win. This could be another good Saturday; as so many have been for Richard Johnson this season.


Hopefully Richard Johnson can continue his scintillating form that has made
this season so successful for him.


2:05- Analifet could be hard to beat but NYANZA has a nice weight and has the beating of another contender today, Intense Tango. Johnson looks a good booking.

2:40- Blaklion could prove a tough nut to crack but CARACCI APACHE has won his last two nicely. A Sandown win was followed by a procession at Plumpton- a replication of these two runs will give the Twiston Davies horse a lot to think about.


At Lingfield, ASTRAL WEEKS runs in the opener (12:50) for Michael Bell on his second run. His horses often need their first outing so she could be one to keep an eye on. Frankie Dettori only comes here for one ride so MESSILA STAR certainly needs an eye kept on him in  the 2:35.

Finally, at Navan, SARWISTAN brings some very useful hurdles form to their concluding bumper (4:15) and could be hard to beat. Augustin rates the main danger.


Have a good Saturday


Happy Punting!
