1pt each-wayThe Doncaster Cup (3.35) must be one of the weakest runnings in living memory as well as one of the strangest.

Heading the market is the eight-year-old Thomas Hobson, who hasn’t won for 15 months, and he is closely followed in the betting by the nine-year-old Sheikhzayedroad, who hasn’t won for 23 months.

Next in the betting is Algometer, who is a relative spring chicken at the age of five but hasn’t won for two years.
