Another one?

After the resounding success of last week’s tip in the Grand National, I feel obliged to make it a regular feature of this blog to give you a winner for the weekend’s big race.
And this Saturday we focus on the Doncaster Mile (3.35). It may have less than a quarter of the number of horses participating than in the National but it is still a tricky contest.

These are the ones you need to know about (current price in brackets):
Don’t Panic (7/4) - hacked up in the Spring Mile at this course last time out and goes on any ground. Should win but it will be at a short price.
Tell (7/2) - I don’t really fancy this horse; he has been found out in this class before and I think the others will be simply too good for him.
Medicine Path (4/1) - trainer thinks he will need the race to get fully fit and I can see him struggling.
Blythe Knight (6/1) - a grand old horse and ran a cracker last time in the Lincoln but he has to give weight away to all his rivals and he surely cannot improve at the age of eight.
Re Barolo (18/1) - In a competitive race, I think it will be best to back this one each-way. He needed his first few runs to get fit but then won a good race at Wolverhampton. He handles the turf and should run into a place at a big price.

Spirkett’s prediction: 1st - Don’t Panic
2nd - Re Barolo
3rd - Blythe Knight
