Doncaster 14:05 William Hill Spring Mile (Handicap) (Str)

Mont Ras rattled up a hat-trick last year in lower grade events and the lightly-raced five-year-old has scope for further improvement this season, though he hasn’t raced since July. In contrast, CROWN COUNSEL ran no-less than 19 times last year, winning on three occasions, and has a recent outing at Kempton under his belt. His two length defeat in better company off a 5lb higher mark over CD in September stands out and a repeat would see him go very close. He’s preferred to stablemate Kingscroft, who finished a couple of lengths behind third placed Reve De Nuit at Lingfield last Saturday, while Richard Fahey runs three with Kay Gee Be making most appeal of the trio. Shamdarley and Perfect Cracker should go well, but Captain Bertie has a bit to find with the selection and both Weapon Of Choice and Snow Bay make more appeal.

2010 St Leger hero ARCTIC COSMOS ran just the twice last season. He never figured in the Woodbine International when last seen in October and today’s shorter trip is a worry but his class may see him through as he’s the best horse in the race. Fair Trade wasn’t far behind him on official ratings in 2010 with a third to Cityscape at Newmarket his best effort although he missed the whole of last year and steps up in trip on his first start for Hughie Morrison. Hurricane Higgins won on the Polytrack on his debut but Group races later in the year proved beyond him and he has a bit to find on his comeback, though not as much as the remainder, who are closely matched on their recent all-weather form in lesser company.

Royal Rock won a Group 3 at Ascot last season but was arguably even better when fourth behind Deacon Blues at the same track on his last start of the year. The highly progressive Sirius Prospect also makes his reappearance having won five of his last six starts in 2011 including a Listed event over CD in November with Mayson just behind. However, BANNOCK may just have the edge on fitness as he’ll have come on for last Saturday’s pipe-opener at Lingfield when a creditable third to Gusto. The winner of the Rockingham over 6f at York in October, Mark Johnston’s colt could be the first three-year-old to land this since 2002 when the Yorkshire trainer won it with Falcon Hill. Jimmy Styles is looking to repeat last year’s success in this when he had Royal Rock behind, while The Cheka and Internationaldebut are others to consider.

Doncaster 15:15 William Hill Lincoln (Heritage Handicap) (Str)

Cocozza has joined Marco Botti from John Oxx in Ireland and his five length defeat by Banimpire in a Group 2 at the Curragh last August is his best effort so far, while Fury has been gelded having failed to win last season and is looking to build on his highly promising two-year-old form. Eton Forever won the Lincoln consolation race last year but is 11lb higher today and suffered a comprehensive defeat back over CD in September at the hands of MAN OF ACTION. The Godolphin colt had to endure a nightmare run in the Cambridgeshire after that but is a tempting price if at his best today and, like last year’s winner, he arrives on the back of a couple of outings at Meydan. Stablemate Start Right hasn’t won since 2010 and Brae Hill wasn’t quite good enough when runner-up in this last year off today’s mark, while the likes of Don’t Call Me and Stevie Thunder look just short of what’s required. Mia’s Boy, Amitola, Mull Of Killough and Clockmaker have been competing with each other on the all-weather over the winter, but November’s Kempton winner Edinburgh Knight looks a better option.

ESHTIBAAK continued his upward curve when scoring at Lingfield on his handicap debut last week. He’s up 7lb for this but will have benefited for the run and has plenty of scope for improvement on only his fourth start. William Haigh is on a 29lb higher mark than when starting his five race winning streak back in November and there could still be more to come from him as he only does just enough to get his head in front, while Nazreef also arrives in fine form having landed a hot handicap at Wolverhampton three weeks ago with Licence To Till behind. Franco Is My Name could also figure along with Sirvino and the returning Fattsota.

Bill Turner has won this four times in the last 10 years so any support for Just Past Andover could prove significant, while Pat Eddery has also trained a recent winner which makes Marvelino worth a second glance. The Exceed And Excel colt Heavy Metal is another to consider along with Well Acquainted, while Perfect Words and Mayfield Girl can boast winning relatives and should give a good account. MY BOY BILL should be an early two-year-old and his dam has produced five winners so far including 2010 Lincoln hero Penitent and nine-time winning sprinter Solemn. Mick Easterby might just have his 65,000gns gelding ready to do the business and he gets the nod.
