Doncaster
1.50 When Norse Blues won at Newbury in March he was 50/1. He has not won since then but had dropped a few pounds in the handicap. He has won in September before.
3.00 Robin Bastiman has sent out 6 horses this month and has had 2 wins and 2 thirds. Singeur represents him here and is in with an each way chance.
3.40 Camelot may well outclass his rivals here. He is not guaranteed to stay on pedigree but I feel he is more likely to get the trip than not. At such short odds I prefer to look for an alternative and Main Sequence and Thought Worthy make most appeal. Slight preference is for Main Sequence each way.
4.15 Strong Suit has not shown his best form recently but this could be a winning opportunity for him.
5.20 Viking Storm has won 3 of his 4 starts this season and is worth sticking with.
Chester
3.20 Estifraaz looks the one to beat here on the basis of his second at Sandown.
5.35 Light From Mars has dropped to a favourable handicap mark.
Newcastle
4.55 Arley Hall is the selection.
5.25 Nearly a Gift has been 8th in his last 5 races and is drawn 8. Just thought I would point it out!
