Hollie Doyle previews a busy Saturday of racing across multiple venues. The headline attraction is ZAVATERI in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury, where the Betfred 2000 Guineas contender looks to keep his Classic dreams alive after winning the Group 1 National Stales as a juvenile. Doyle will also ride several other horses including NIEWIADOMA in her debut and MERLIER attempting a hat-trick.

Doyle highlights the potential of WARM SPELL who she expects to go close in a handicap after placing efforts off higher marks last autumn. She also expresses excitement riding for veteran trainer Wilf Storey on IDYLLIC, while noting URBAN LION's chance to follow up his Lincoln win in the Sprint Cup. The nine-year-old AL AASY could also cause an upset in the Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes.

In the fillies' division, Doyle believes TOULEEN can prove better than her Rockfel run when contesting the Dubai Duty Free Stakes, a race she won 12 months ago on a 33-1 shot. She also mentions the step up in trip for SOLAR BIRICZ from five to six furlongs as Mark Walford continues his recent good form. Doyle's weekend action spans multiple venues with her horses covering various distances and conditions.
