On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage.

We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

Br TIMEFORMVIEWGalileo colt who was a wide-margin winner of a 10-runner maiden at the Curragh on debut and overcame the rise in class/greenness to follow up in 10f Group 3 there. Toughed it out well to maintain his unbeaten record in Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and extra distance promises to suit. Big shout.
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.
HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability.
The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

£7200 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2973, 2nd £1487, 3rd £743, 4th £372, 5th £186. (Penalty Value £3768.48) Weights raised 1lb and paragraphs 27 to 31 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable. SS
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): I Furtado (8 wins from 111 runners, 7%) runs WILDE AND DANDY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M & D Easterby (2 wins from 28 runners, 7%) runs BIG APPLE JACK
WEIGHTWATCHER: THAPA VC won off a handicap mark of 71, his rating is now down 8lb to 63.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: THAPA VC trained by M Rimell, Witney, 145 miles.
THAPAVC had excuses on account of the steady pace at Kempton 10 days ago and having previously knocked firmly on the door this season, he could be ready to strike provided he gets a stronger gallop to aim at back on turf. Havana Mojito has been in fine form at Brighton in recent months and is a threat if transferring that form to this different track Wilde and Dandy is next best, whilst Big Apple Jack looks worthy of a crack at this longer trip

WILLOW WOOD looked one to keep firmly on side when comfortably scoring over this trip at Ffos Las 44 days go and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent Ed Walker’s filly following up with the prospect of more to come over middle distances. Boilermaker and Rossa Raheen may provide chief resistance.

At every race meeting at Doncaster our top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and rider We have a dedicated team of highly qualified vets and doctors following the action at all times and a horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting.
Use of Screens
It is our policy to erect green screens around any horse requiring veterinary attention. This does NOT reflect the severity of any injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.
Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!

C&D winner ELECTRIC LIGHTNING produced his best effort of the season when runner up at Beverley 2 weeks ago and he looks to hold sound claims if backing up that effort from a 1lb higher mark. Fellow C&D winner Woodleigh is probably best excused his latest Newcastle run and is feared along with Leicester scorer Palmarian. Clasina and Penny Ghent are others worth a look in a trappy handicap

Ultra competitive despite the small field size with the narrow vote in favour of the sole 3-y-o in the line up TABASKO. She shaped like a strong stayer in the making when second over 1 1/2m at Epsom 17 days ago and with a return to this flatter track also appealing as a likely plus on her first crack at 2m, she could well have a fair bit more to come. Improving hurdler Pergamon is potentially very well treated back in this sphere and shades preference for second over Pyleates.
