Newsboy’s ITV selections from Doncaster plus tips from Thursday's other meetings
GOLDEN LYRA should thrive for the chance to race beyond a mile and three-quarters for the first time in the Group 2 Betfred Park Hill Fillies’ Stakes (3.35) at Doncaster on Thursday.
Lope De Vega’s daughter hasn’t been an easy horse for William Haggas to get to the track as the four-year-old has just eight runs on her CV.
But Tom Marquand’s mount was a Listed winner at Saint-Cloud last October and, the way she stayed on to take second in the Group 2 Prix de Pomone at Deauville over an extended mile and a half on her latest start, this test looks tailor-made.
(RACINGFOTOS.COM) A step up in distance is also a bonus for DARNATION in the Group 2 Betfred May Hill Stakes (3.00).
Karl Burke’s horses are in top form and Darnation came home with gusto to lift the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood 19 days ago.
After lifting the Goffs UK Harry Beeby Premier Yearling Stakes at York last time out, DRAGON LEADER is fancied to defend his unbeaten record by capturing another big pot on offer for the Weatherbys Scientific £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes (2.25).
Chic Colombe looks set to start favourite for the British Stallion Studs EBF “Carrie Red” Nursery (1.50), but the value lies with last week’s Hamilton Park scorer, BELLARCHI.
