2.05pm – Ofalltheginjoints

There are a couple at Doncaster where the favourite will be so hard to oppose, and OFALLTHEGINJOINTS is the first one. I tried to pick one of the others in this race – House Island, Hurricane Harvey, The Mighty Don and Milanford – but I just can’t see them beating him. I think the trip will suit him, Robbie Power is going up to Doncaster instead of maybe going to Cheltenham and it just ticks all the boxes for me. I just can’t find one to beat him – it’s as simple as that.

2.40pm – Monmiral

I think Gordon Elliot has a good line on where Glorious Zoff is at the moment, as he ran at Sedgefield already where he was beaten and he beat Crassus at Sligo.

I watched MONMIRAL win at Exeter and he didn’t scream to me like a horse that wants to go to Doncaster. I know he jumped fractionally to his left but Exeter is quite a stiff track while Doncaster is quite a fast track. There could be something that could do him but I’m going to stick with Paul Nicholls again as I don’t think there is anything in this race which is good enough. He jumps left but I just think he’s too good for them. He’s won in France, he’s won at Exeter and I think he’s a short-priced favourite that will go in.

3.15pm – Give Me A Copper

Paul Nicholls has sent sending Monmiral up to Doncaster, who Sir Alex Ferguson owns a share in, and GIVE ME A COPPER runs in Sir Alex Ferguson’s colours – I thought Nicholls might be lining a couple up for him.

Give Me A Copper is a very fragile horse, but a talented one. This is his first run after his wind op and he is top weight but is a great each-way shout in what looks an open race.
