Brides Hill to deliver at Doncaster

Brides Hill is backed to give Gavin Cromwell a second straight success in the Download The Raceday Ready App Yorkshire Silver Vase Mares' Chase at Doncaster on Sunday.

The Irish trainer has opted to run this promising seven-year-old rather than last year's 10-length victor Limerick Lace.

Like her stablemate, Brides Hill is proven on her travels, having comfortably accounted for the reopposing La Renommee at Huntingdon in January.

The seven-year-old followed that up with a wide-margin success in Grade Two company at Punchestown, which extended her winning run to four.

Past history suggests she is capable of hitting the ground running when fresh from a lay-off and conditions look sure to suit on Town Moor.

Insurrection had excuses for a below-par effort at Wincanton last time and is worth another chance in the Download The At The Races App Novices' Limited Handicap Chase.

Twice a scorer over hurdles, he put in a pleasing debut over fences when second at Chepstow behind Springwell Bay, who has gone on to perform with credit in better company.

Eternal Angel has not done much wrong in a couple of placed efforts so far, going down by just a neck in an Ascot bumper before finishing third in quite a hot little Huntingdon contest on his jumping debut.

Only the front two in the betting finished ahead of him that day and both Laurens Boy and HMS President had run well over obstacles before, so that form has a solid feel to it.

If making normal improvement, Nicky Henderson's charge can take advantage of the 6lb he receives from previous winners Barrabooka and Jordans Cross in the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 British EBF "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle.

The Skeltons travel up to Kelso and can be rewarded with a couple of strikes in the Scottish Borders.

Ace Of Spades showed a good attitude to prevail at Cheltenham last month and races as though a step up in trip should pose no problems in the Visit Kelso In 2025 Novices' Hurdle.

Beat Box made it five wins from six outings for his current connections with a fine Hereford triumph recently and is worth sticking with in the Children's Hospices Across Scotland Handicap Chase while the ground remains relatively sound.

Waiting For Love created a big impression when romping home by 7 lengths at Wolverhampton on her second start and James Tate's filly looks one to keep on side in Southwell's Weekly Free Bets With BetMGM Extra Novice Stakes.

With Constitution Hill having made such a superb comeback at Kempton, Willie Mullins will be looking for State Man to pick up the gauntlet in the Neville Hotels Hurdle at Leopardstown.

The reigning Champion Hurdle holder suffered only a second defeat in his last 14 outings when beaten by the race-fit Brighterdaysahead in the Morgiana last month but is expected to be much sharper for that seasonal reappearance and can gain revenge. - Press Association
