Racing Post Trophy 2010

Despite receiving  less attention than last week's Dewhurst, today's Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster is no less intriguing and should put further perspective on this season's excellent crop of 2 year old colts.

Casamento is a worthy favourite but two hard races close together may have taken the edge of him. Dunboyne Express, who runs for his very astute trainer (particularly with 2yos) has to have a chance but offers little value. The Irish challenge is augmented by the Ballydoyle pair but neither stand out and the stable does not appear to have a star in this sphere (yet!!).

The home team is headed by the promising Native Khan who swerved Newmarket but may find the going against him today. Titus Mills, carrying the famous Sangster colours showed plenty of tenacity and race winning ability last time. He perhaps is more forward than the remainder and offers best value at the prices.  There are a few likely outsiders also, but expect one of the market leaders to prevail in an open contest.

good luck...
