Rain could be a problem for Pankhurst

3.10 Doncaster

SP forecast 15-8

Well-regarded colt who emerged from a period in the wilderness when dropped to this trip at Newbury last month. There
could be more to come now connections have found his distance once and for all (unbeaten in three over 7f) and this doesn’t look stronger. However, has a penalty to carry on what could be much softer ground. Although he has won on an easy surface, he reportedly loves fast ground.

Conclusion Significant rain would raise a red flag. Lay.

3.45 Doncaster

SP forecast 8-11

Placed in two Derbys and warmed up for this with an impressive success in the Great Voltigeur at York, staying on in the manner of a horse who will easily get this longer trip. Oustanding claims on form, but the big concern is both wins have come on fast ground, which he won’t get here.
