As Sky Sports ambassador Hollie Doyle nears her comeback after a five-month injury lay-off, she previews an exciting weekend of racing from Doncaster on Sky Sports Racing.
It looks like being a lucky 13th for master trainer Aidan O'Brien in the William Hill Futurity Trophy Stakes (1.30) at Doncaster on Saturday. The Ballydoyle maestro heads the market with NOBLE EXHIBIT, who will be partnered by Ryan Moore in his pursuit of a first Group 1. The son of Frankel looks the perfect type for this end-of-season assignment following his impressive win in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at The Curragh. He coped well with the yielding ground that day, so the soft conditions on Town Moor shouldn't be an issue.
Karl Burke has been bullish about Noble Exhibit's most dangerous rival, Burning Up, who confirmed his liking for soft ground when defying a penalty in a Haydock Park novice. His second to O'Brien's Haffner in the Group 2 Royal Lodge can be upgraded, as he got caught out in the dip before running on strongly. Godolphin have obvious claims with Al Hudaiba, who won a Grade 1 in Canada last month.
In the Listed William Hill Remembering Sue Wright Prospect Stakes (2.05), BENGAL TIGER will be hard to beat. The son of No Nay Never won his maiden at Naas by an incredible 12 lengths. Adam Kirby's ANCIENT STATE is also expected to supplement his course and distance win in the Richard James Hone Memorial Handicap (12.55), while Chapple-Hyam's DESPERATE DAN looks a value pick for repeat success in the William Hill Epic Boosts Handicap (3.19).
