Hollie Doyle: Who’s Glen holds sturdy Northumberland Plate credentials at Newcastle | Racing Information

Our ambassador Hollie Doyle seems to be forward to 5 rides at Doncaster on Saturday night, reside on Sky Sports activities Racing, and displays on her Listed win in France on Tuesday.

Traverse sharper for comeback run

Hambleton Racing’s Grand Traverse might be my finest likelihood at Doncaster on Saturday night when he reappears within the Chique Boutique Doncaster Handicap (8.00).

A stuffy horse, he wanted his first run in simply over a 12 months when he completed down the sector in a seven-furlong handicap at Doncaster earlier this month however ought to strip fitter this time.

I am hoping he can get again to the promise he confirmed when successful on steady debut for my boss Archie Watson at Newcastle final 12 months. Previously with grasp French coach Andre Fabre, he struggled to construct on that efficiency in a handful of runs on turf however this represents a drop in grade off a profession low mark of 86.

Wind operation the important thing to Seeker

Now that he is bought that first run underneath his girth following wind surgical procedure, Blue Seeker will hopefully have sufficient confidence to make his mark within the Howcroft Group Handicap (7.00) at Doncaster.

Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero’s three-year-old ran respectably on his first begin for brand new connections after being purchased out of Simon and Ed Crisford’s highly effective yard final month.

A winner over seven furlongs on the all-weather as a two-year-old, he must translate that kind to turf however ought to respect going again up in journey on this massive galloping monitor.

Straight mile superb for Monopolise

Mark Loughnane’s all-weather winner Monopolise runs on turf for the primary time since August when he strains up for the Hilton Backyard Inn Handicap (9.00) at Doncaster.

The five-year-old has gained twice on turf, albeit on softer floor than he’s prone to encounter on City Moor, however is barely 1lb larger than when scoring at Kempton Park in January. He ran nicely on the straight monitor at Newcastle final winter so ought to respect this check.

Hamaleel studying on the job

I am on the lookout for a bit extra progress from Hamaleel within the seven-furlong British Stallion Studs EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (7.30) at Doncaster.

Archie’s filly is an enormous, weak daughter of Palace Pier who is said to a five-furlong successful juvenile and is out of a dam who additionally gained at two however has been in want of the expertise in two runs at Redcar and Lingfield Park. She was a bit straighter over this journey final time however is studying on the job.

Later, Sassy Glory must get again to the shape she was producing on the all-weather final winter when she reappears within the Doncaster Supporting Racing Employees Week Fillies’ Handicap (8.30).

Now racing off a basement mark following a string of disappointing efforts, Mark Walford’s filly clearly wants to seek out loads extra to be aggressive in a higher-grade race than those she’s been working in.

Glen has sturdy Plate credentials

Andrew Balding’s younger stayer Who’s Glen brings an excellent profile into the massive race on Saturday, the £150,000 JenningsBet Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (3.15), reside on Sky Sports activities Racing.

He is not ideally drawn out in stall 19 however I am positive PJ McDonald, who rode a double for the yard at Gosforth Park on Thursday, will be capable to get him into a very good attacking place. Who’s Glen is a robust stayer who confirmed his attributes with an enormous run from off the tempo within the Chester Cup and has confirmed kind on the all-weather too.

I am additionally hoping to see one other massive efficiency from final 12 months’s winner Onesmoothoperator for locally-born coach Brian Ellison. He could also be 12lb larger within the handicap however seems to be an improved horse judged on his Group Three win in Australia and one other Group putting in Meydan.

Brian’s star stayer had been on the go a very long time however comes into the race a recent horse following a well-earned break which may show an actual benefit. He is additionally properly berthed in stall seven to be in the fitting place for Connor Beasley when the cost for house begins.

Arrow considered one of quickest I’ve ridden

Lightning-fast sprinter Spartan Arrow is doubtless the quickest horse I’ve ever ridden, aside from my a number of Group One winner Bradsell.

An unfortunate second within the Epsom Sprint, Archie Watson’s five-year-old went one higher within the five-furlong Listed Prix Hampton at Chantilly on Tuesday, exhibiting not solely blistering early tempo however the tenacity to battle again after we had been headed.

I am thrilled for his homeowners Hambleton Racing who’ve one other thrilling horse to go to struggle with in Sample races this season. He holds an entry within the Group Two King George Qatar Stakes at Goodwood in August which might be an excellent goal.
