Below are my members’ ‘big meeting notes’ for Doncaster, to be used as starting points. They helped us find Another Eclipse yesterday and with any luck may point to a few winners over the last two days. I’d use them as a ‘way in’...

Sandown and 14th September
Sandown 2.15 5f Mdn
Ratings
1. Astronaut, Royal Dynasty
2. Drummer Jack, Michael’s Choice Lille, Reticent Angel
3. Quicksilver
After the series of wide drawn wins at the last meeting on similar ground against the received wisdom that low is the place to be this does look to be between the top two, however they look likely to be overbet. That said this looks to be a poor race and maybe Michael’s Choice from draw 1 who has an ok speed rating can strike.
Sandown 3.25 8f Novice
Ratings
1. Gentle Look
2. Dawn Treader, Jeweller, Wojood
3. Aussie Nugget, Kosciuszko, Mubariz, Venedegar
Previously seen
Venedegar – Why does Ed Dunlop run them to get them fit instead of tuning them up at home? This one in race 3 still carrying too much condition. Chunky model who will win a maiden. 78
Dawn Treader – Not that big but well put together.. 75+
Kosciuzsco – A bit spare, fit but green, improve. 77
I’ve reviewed the pictures of all three of these and they are all different shapes, which is the best miler? I’m not sure, the fly in the ointment is Gentle Look who blew out on debut. Looking at the replay he did not as the poor performing Wish for the same stable did at Goodwood look like two boards nailed together.
Both these races look ordinary and I can’t find a compelling reason to back any on paper. In the flesh it may be different. Dawn Treader and Gentle Look seem to offer some value.
At Doncaster in The Flying Childers I shall be with Rumble Inthejungle
