Doncaster Race 5

Livescore Bet Best Odds Daily Novices' Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $16,420

KELCE (4) at the very worst would have been second when falling tackling the last at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. The winner subsequently landed a valuable handicap chase at Sandown. Warrants thought off a 2.5kg higher mark. There could be plenty more to come from DE TELLERS FORTUNE (1) following his staying-on-neck success making chase debut at Taunton in December. SALADINS SON (3) was pulled up delivering initial chase outing at Ffos Las last start. Might do better in time. MOON HUNTER (2) rounds out the shortlist.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming favourite; won by 1.3 len Huntingdon on November 23 over 5000m defeating Squiggles with 71.5kg at $1.80 in a hurdle. Last start didn't finish the race at Ffos Las on December 19 over 4300m. Gets a chance to win. No surprise to see him back in form today.
