NEWBURY
2.00: STAR SELECTION,a creditable 111/2-length eighth to the smart Blowing Wind in the Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle at Sandown, takes a drop in class. Potentate is a danger.
2.30: CAROLE'S CRUSADER, a head second to Eulogy in a 3m110yds handicap chase at Sandown last time, is preferred to Macgeorge, who finished alone over course and distance last time.
3.30: SALLY SCALLY, 11/2 lengths second to Final Hand in a 2m3f110yds novice hurdle at Taunton last time, figures on a lenient handicap mark. Quistaquay and Kinnahalla are dangers.
DONCASTER
2.35: SCORNED, winner of a 7f maiden here last November, looks a fair prospect. Libra Star may pose most problems.
3.10: NOMORE MR NICEGUY,
a neck second to the useful Fayik in a competitive 1m110yds handicap on Fibresand at Wolverhampton, is fit, well handicapped and will find a high draw no problem if the ground does not turn soft. Lionize, working well, also makes appeal.
3.40: MONAASSIB, 3 lengths second to Elnadim in the Group Two Diadem Stakes over 6f at Ascot last September, should outclass these. Carranita may follow him home.
4.45: POSEIDON, who ran some fair races in Group company last season, should give a fair account of himself. The Fly is a danger.
