1.25 Doncaster - Pyramid Place and Homme Public contest feature

Olly Murphy's Pyramid Place scored for the ninth time over hurdles when comfortably claiming a decent handicap at Kempton last month and could take plenty of beating off just a 6lb higher mark.

Homme Public has struggled since scoring over fences here in March but bounced back to form with a solid fifth over hurdles at Bangor and rates a big player off 2lb lower here.

Santos Blue will be popular having won at Uttoxeter on his last start, while Coniston George was narrowly denied at Carlisle and makes each-way appeal.

Plaisir Des Flos has been in fine this year winning on five occasions since March and having put up a career best when third at Cheltenham last month. He must be feared under Jack Hogan.

Henry Daly's Strackan broke his duck over hurdles when easily landing at Uttoxeter novices' handicap 19 days ago but a 9lb hike in the weights means he will need to step forward again.

David O'Meara's Heathen returned to winning ways on his return at this track last month and remains unexposed over this extra distance, while Clockmaker is worth a mention on his second handicap start.
