Neil Morrice shares all of his best bets and tips for Sunday’s racing coming your way from Doncaster, and Huntingdon on 2 March 2025.
DONCASTER
Race 4 No2 SKI LODGE (Nap)
Trainer: Alan King – Jockey: Tom Cannon
SKI LODGE was an authoritative scorer at Haydock on a second start over hurdles and represents a trainer with a good record with his novices on the Town Moor. He should relish the step up to three miles at a track that will play to his strengths.
Race 5 No5 ANOTHER MYSTERY
Trainer: Sarah Humphreys – Jockey: James Bowen
ANOTHER MYSTERY returns from a lengthy absence after posting a good effort in defeat at Uttoxeter last May. If ready for an interesting clash with paper favourite Jac Jumper he can go one better, as he has conditions in his favour regarding the trip and ground.
HUNTINGDON
Race 3 No1 PEP TALKING
Trainer: Billy Aprahamian – Jockey: Gavin Sheehan
PEP TALKING looked progressive when scoring at Sedgefield and Uttoxeter only to flop at Warwick but there were genuine excuses for that. The seven-year-old was found to be suffering from a low grade virus, but the stable has come out of it with a recent winner, making the top weight an attractive betting proposition fresh from his enforced break.
Race 5 No3 SAIL AWAY (Each Way)
Trainer: Dan Skelton – Jockey: Harry Skelton
Bold jumping SAIL AWAY made a first completion in four outings this season when posting a midfield finish in a Class2 at Doncaster. The grey showed on that occasion the first signals that he may have benefited from a wind op, and having become well handicapped is worth chancing in this clash with multiple scorer El Rio.
Race 7 No7 LOCK STOCK (Nap)
Trainer: Ben Pauling – Jockey: Ben Jones
LOCK STOCK brings the best form to the table in the concluding bumper and can further boost the fantastic form of his stable which is operating at a 50% strike-rate. His effort when chasing home the useful Nazare over course and distance last time bears close inspection, and makes him the one to beat.
