Doncaster expected to race on Saturday

Inhospitable weather is hurting horseracing cards very badly these days. Doncaster?s Friday card is already in danger, with an inspection planned for Wednesday. But there is some hope as well. The venue is likely to provide jumps fan some cheer on the weekend, as Saturday?s card is expected to go ahead as planned.

Doncaster is due to host a few major races this weekend. The card includes: Crownhotel-bawtry.com Handicap Hurdle, Racing Post Lightning Novices? Chase Grade 2, Albert Bartlett Novices? Hurdle (Registered As The River Don Novices? Hurdle Race) Grade 2, OLBG.com Doncaster Mares? Hurdle Grade 2, Sky Bet Chase (A Handicap) (formerly The Great Yorkshire Chase) (Listed Race), TRM Handicap Chase, and Park Hill Hospital EBF Mares? Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race.

Doncaster clerk of the course Roderick Duncan told the Racing Post on Monday: "The forecast has improved a little. We're forecast positive daytime temperatures.?

"There may be a flurry or two of snow around on Wednesday and Thursday, but not a significant amount, and there's every chance that will turn to sleet or rain. Then we'd have a real opportunity."

The spectators at Doncaster are likely to witness plenty of excitement on Saturday. A lot of big runners are due to reach here to show their magic. Lucinda Russell, who trains Bold Sir Brian and Silver By Nature, reveals her plans:

"Bold Sir Brian has also got an entry in the two-mile-five race at Cheltenham. We'll decide which is the best race for him.?

"Silver By Nature is never at his best for his first run, so we're dead keen to get this run into him, then go for the Grand National Trial at Haydock."

The Grade 2 Racing Post Lightning Novices? Chase, which is second race on the card, has attracted 10 exciting entries. The conditions are likely to be very testing, therefore every runner has to be extra cautious.

The Donald McCain-trained, Overturn, is determined to continue the good work after a couple of thrilling wins. Similarly, Tap Night, Lucinda Russell?s charge, is aiming for the hat-trick. The audience is keenly waiting for the action, hoping that the weather will stay good in the next few days.
