Air Force One arrive upwardly mobile after a trio of sharp efforts culminating in a near-miss at York, while Trefor continue a productive campaign and seem at home in big-field skirmishes. Addison Grey show a progressive profile with Newmarket substance behind him, whereas Jakajaro string together consistent placed runs at five and six and should find this in-between journey perfectly judged.

Eternal Sunshine bring momentum from successive 6f wins and now dip back into a bustling contest that will probe efficiency rather than stamina alone. At the other end, Chipstead return with questions after an absence-hit season, and Tropical Storm seek a rebound after three below-par spins following a Listed win.

Rosario enter the fray from stall 16 for Roger Teal, the yard that lifted this race with Oxted in 2019 and had Chipstead first past the post in 2022. The chestnut’s season has contained episodes of misfortune at the gates, blindfold hitches and even a lost shoe, yet the upside of those disruptions is a workable mark and a price that underestimates peak ability. Tom Marquand climbs aboard for only the second time and, with a clean break, the long, even stretch at 5f143y should let his mount chase a generous tempo and lengthen late rather than be forced into an immediate burn.

Best bet of the day – Doncaster 14:25

Here at bettingtips4you we only provide a single prediction rather than many different ones, as we believe in quality and not quantity and only give out the best tip per event. This will also make it easier for readers that don’t have to worry about what selection to go for and also it is more accountable as we can easily evaluate our tips profitability as we only give out a clear best bet for event: Rosario to win 2.25 Doncaster.

Rosario look primed to outrun market expectations and convert a string of honest efforts into a winning punch now that circumstances align. The numbers and context chime: a current mark of 91 leaves him 3lb beneath his last winning figure from Goodwood in May, and the latest Goodwood third (beaten only 1½ lengths) stamped him as a sprinter holding form in strong company. Before that, the Ascot fifth came in a 5f heat that demanded instant acceleration from the gates, not ideal for a horse who can be tardy away; even so, he shaped as if a longer run-in and a shade more yardage would help. Today’s 5f143y remedies that, adding an extra half-furlong that suits a chaser of pace who finishes his races. Stall 16 places him close to what should be a solid stand-side drag, and the presence of numerous front-end candidates promises an honest gallop that plays to his stalking style.

Roger Teal’s team have been bright in the last fortnight (3 wins from 14, 21%), and Tom Marquand brings sharp racecraft despite modest recent headline numbers. The York, Ascot and Goodwood threads in this field knit together tightly, and on collateral evidence Rosario repeatedly sits within striking distance of the principals when he gets a fair shot at rhythm. The season also contains valid excuses: a late blindfold, awkward starts and even a lost shoe have tempered outcomes, not raw ability. With that noise filtered out, the Doncaster configuration offers clarity—settle early, latch onto the right tow, and use that sustained finish across the last furlong. If he break evenly, his blend of pace retention and late punch can carry him past rivals who may burn their matches sooner.
