It\u2019s day one of the four-day Doncaster St Leger Meeting this Thursday and Andy Newton is here all week with our Doncaster horse racing tips from the main races \u2013 including the May Hill Stakes and Park Hill Stakes on the opening day of the fixture.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doncaster Horse Racing Tips: May Hill and Park Hill Stakes The Feature Contests<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the opening afternoon, the main ITV Racing<\/a> contests include the Group Two May Hill Stakes as we get a chance to see some of the stars of the future on show.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a prize the Karl Burke team have won twice in the last eight years too, while trainer Aidan O\u2019Brien has only taken this race once.<\/p>\n

While the other big race on the day is the Group Two Park Hill Stakes, over 1m 6f \u2013 which is a race the John Gosden camp have a fine record in, with three wins in the last six years.<\/p>\n

We also have horse racing tips<\/a> daily that give FOUR best bets in a Lucky 15, plus we highlight any horses that are running that won the same races last year.<\/p>\n

With seven of the last nine winners coming from stalls 7 or lower, this is a good stat to take into the race. Plus, four of the last five winners came from gates 3 or 5 (two each)<\/p>\n

Trainer Karl Burke has won two of the last eight too and tries again with Half Sovereign, who is the likely favourite with the horse racing betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Isle Of Fernandez was a nice winner at Carlisle on Tuesday and from draw 5 could go well if tuned out again quickly.<\/p>\n

MARCH AHEAD, however, looks a tad over-priced \u2013 having already beaten another runner here \u2013 Gwen John \u2013 last time and is actually 5lbs better off with that horse having a 3lb claimer on last time.<\/p>\n

This Kevin Ryan-trained juvenile has also been handed one of the \u2018hot stalls\u2019 in 3.<\/p>\n

A big pot up for grabs here for these 2 year-olds and all eyes will be on the Aidan O\u2019Brien-trained Brussels \u2013 but we\u2019ve only seen one winning favourite in the last ten.<\/p>\n

The 106-rated Tadej is another to note but needs to bounce back from being a beaten favourite last time at York.<\/p>\n

Andrew Balding has won two of the last six too and so his Rising Empire is noted too.<\/p>\n

But the call is JEL PEPPER, for the Oliver Cole yard. This 2 year-old gelding already has top form running third to the classy Zavateri in the G2 July Stakes at Newmarket (Brussels 4th<\/sup>) – watch below.<\/p>\n

The winner also franked that run to win the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, he is also 10lbs better off with Brussels for that July Stakes run. With the pair meeting on level terms that day and Jel Pepper getting the weight today.<\/p>\n
