Nicky Henderson is in good form and has a particularly good record with his horses at Doncaster. He boasts a 40 per cent strike-rate at the venue and the pick of his four runners is Countister (12.30), who is highly regarded and can win here before going on to better things.

When John Gosden sends two-year-old debutants to Newcastle it’s worth taking note. He has an impressive 44 per cent strike-rate with such horses at the course. Without Parole (3.35) is his representative and the son of Frankel is closely related to impressive all-weather and dirt performer Tamarkuz.
