Harry Wilson has tipped the first two winners at Doncaster - find out his fancies for every race on day one of the St Leger meeting

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all eight races on day one of the St Leger meeting at Doncaster on Thursday.


1.15 Doncaster
British Stallion Studs 'Carrie Red' EBF Fillies' Nursery Handicap, 6½f

Harry's tip: Speed Of Sound

Speed Of Sound acquitted herself well in three good maidens/novices, notably beating a subsequent winner who is now rated 86 at Yarmouth last month, before running well in the face of a tough sales race at York last time. There is every chance that a mark of 81 underestimates her now that she is handicapping.

1.50 Doncaster
Weatherbys £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes, 6½f

Harry's tip: Night In Vegas

Night In Vegas looked a useful prospect when winning his first two starts and confirmed that impression with good efforts in defeat in the Coventry and Richmond Stakes. He comfortably won a sales race at Newmarket last time and looks well weighted in his bid for another big pot.

2.25 Doncaster
Pertemps Network Handicap, 1m2f

Harry's tip: Knights Charge

Knights Charge has taken big steps forward from his promising debut third since stepping up in trip, easily winning a 1m2f novice at Lingfield (had a now 89-rated rival five lengths behind) before following up under a penalty at Nottingham in May when last seen. He could be considerably better than his opening mark.

3.00 Doncaster
Betfred Park Hill Fillies' Stakes (Group 2), 1m6½f

Harry's tip: Fairy Glen

NON-RUNNER


3.35 Doncaster
Betfred May Hill Stakes (Group 2), 1m

Harry's tip: Beguiled

Beguiled shaped with plenty of promise despite greenness when third on her debut in a good 7f maiden at Glorious Goodwood and built on that when a comfortable winner at Newmarket last time. She already looks useful, and her pedigree suggests she will improve plenty for stepping up in trip.

4.10 Doncaster
Meadowhall X Flannels Beauty Bar Nursery Handicap, 1m

Harry's tip: Waasil

Waasil was a comfortable winner on his nursery debut at Newbury in July, looking value for more than the length-and-a-quarter winning distance suggests as he was eased down. The runner-up franked the form when winning cosily next time, and this 6lb higher mark is unlikely to be beyond him, with the step up to a mile likely to suit.

4.45 Doncaster
East Midlands Airport And Jet2 Nursery Handicap, 7f

Harry's tip: Storm Blade

Storm Blade has posted progressive RPRs on his three starts, notably taking a step forward when beaten just a length at Chester last time. He is bred to do a lot better than his opening mark and has the potential to improve.

5.20 Doncaster
Pertemps Handicap, 1m4f

Harry's tip: Devil's Peak

Devil's Peak has improved since stepping up in trip, beating a subsequent winner at Newbury in July before catching the eye at Glorious Goodwood and York's Ebor meeting. He didn't look to quite get home over 1m6f in the Melrose Handicap last time, so this drop back in trip and easier race should both suit.
