3.10 Doncaster - Emerald Harmony and Dyonisos contest hot feature
The Believe Money Group Handicap headlines our action from Doncaster on Friday and a few decent horses have won this feature contest, including Rogue Lightning back in 2023 and this year's renewal looks competitive, with Emerald Harmony among seven rivals.
The Paul Midgley-trained mare returned to winning ways with a good win at Thirsk last month and deserves a crack at this better grade under her four-pound higher mark.
Dyonisos is yet to win for trainer Ian Williams but has run with credit in defeat on several occasions. Latterly not beaten far when fifth at Hamilton, he will appreciate another drop in the weights.
- Redemption for Benvenuto Cellini in the Irish Derby
- Align The Stars wins Northumberland Plate at Newcastle
Of the others, topweight Paddy's Day enters calculations, while Moulin Booj is often in the money.
5.43 Chepstow - Consistent Dr Strangelove faces five rivals
The consistent Dr Strangelove features among five runners for this togetheragainfestival.co.uk Handicap at Chepstow.
Oliver Cole's four-year-old has run well since undergoing a gelding operation and having been narrowly denied at Goodwood, he must be respected under new pilot Mason Paetel.
Aspull does not have many miles on the clock but will need to step forward from his heavy defeat at Salisbury, while Diamondonthehill and Supreme King have solid claims.
3.55 Newton Abbot - Recent victors Duke Of Luckley and Gore Point clash
Recent winners Duke Of Luckley and Gore Point clash in a trappy running of the Howden Insurance Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot.
Duke Of Luckley heads the weights for Martin and Freddie Keightley and arrives on the back of an emphatic success at Southwell. Given plenty of rope in front, it was a tad surprising, but he must be feared if allowed a soft lead.
Gore Point was left clear when his chief rival fell at Stratford just four days ago and could be in the mix despite the step up in class under a seven-pound penalty.
The Skelton's have been in grand form this summer and Krak is a fascinating contender on his stable debut.
