With the feature being the Group 2 Doncaster Cup at 3:00pm \u2013 a race trainer John Gosden has won three times in the last six runners, including last year with Sweet William, who is back for more in 2025.<\/p>\n

While the Group Two Flying Childers at 2:25pm gives us a chance to see some of the best young speedsters around in this 2 year-old sprint. Where Nunthorpe Stakes flop Lady Iman will be trying to get back to winning ways.<\/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

1:15 \u2013 Doncaster \u2013 Betfred Mallard Handicap (GBBplus Race) Cl2 (3yo+ 0-105) 1m6\u00bdf ITV<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A tricky opener on day two of the Doncaster St Leger Festival \u2013 with a stack of chances.<\/p>\n

The Roger Varian team won this in 2020 and they try again with Shadow Dancer, who travelled well into the Ebor last time but faded to be 11th<\/sup>. Is back on a pound lower mark.<\/p>\n

Subsequent was runner-up in 2024 and sent off favourite, but needs to bounce back from some average efforts this season.<\/p>\n

Synergism has won well this season for the Prescott camp, and they boast a cracking 40% SR with their 3 year-olds at the track, so has to be considered.<\/p>\n

While Jim Goldie and jockey Amie Waugh teamed up to win the race last year and run Midnight Lion, who looks set to be a big price with the horse racing betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the race also has a rare Dermot Weld runner in the race \u2013 DURAJI \u2013 and William Buick catches the eye in the saddle.<\/p>\n

This 4 year-old ran the classy Kyprios to 3 \u00bd lengths back in May and was last seen running an excellent 4th<\/sup> at Glorious Goodwood in the Summer Handicap over this trip.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s still only had six career runs and looks the sort with more up his sleeve.<\/p>\n

1:50 \u2013 Doncaster \u2013 Betfred Flying Scotsman Stakes (Listed Race) Cl1 (2yo) 7f ITV<\/strong><\/h3>\n

14 of the last 15 winners came from stalls five or lower \u2013 which is a plus for the likely favourite CATULLUS, from gate five.<\/p>\n

This Godolphin runner ran second to the useful Publish at Sandown two runs back (watch below) and franked that effort with an easy win at Yarmouth last time. Plus, the Charlie Appleby yard boast a decent 28% SR with their 2 year-olds at the track and are also going well at the moment overall.<\/p>\n

Do Or Do Not has been knocking at the door in these big juvenile races but was only third (as favourite) in the Gimcrack last time out and being 0-6 is starting to look exposed now.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting that the same connections and trainer (Ed Walker) as Do Or Do Not also run Northern Champion, who won on debut at Deauville. The second has won since too to boost the form.<\/p>\n

Hankelow won first time out at York too, but the form has had some knocks since \u2013 despite the 4th<\/sup> Commanding Officer winning since – so is overlooked.<\/p>\n

While at a bigger price \u2013 SUNSET OF LEROS \u2013 looks over-priced for the Botti yard. Dotted up over this course and distance last time and has been freshened up with 50 days off.<\/p>\n

Yes, this is a step up in grade, but was very impressive and the stable have a 21% SR here too with their youngsters.<\/p>\n
