Today on Sky Sports Racing: Doncaster, Bangor and Southwell host live action | Racing News

We’re all set for a busy day on Sky Sports Racing, with Southwell’s Flat action accompanying Doncaster and Bangor’s Jumps cards

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.

2.40 Bangor-on-Dee – Mahland, Strackan and Plaisir Des Flos clash

Mahland got off the mark over hurdles at the fifth attempt at Ffos Las on his final start of last season and looks the type to improve further in this sphere before tackling fences.

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.

5.45 Southwell – Recent winners Heathen and Alrazeen headline

A competitive affair with a few in-form rivals headlining.

The Gay Kelleway-trained Alrazeen was winning for the third time on the all-weather when a comfortable winner at Wolverhampton and this strapping three-year-old rates a stayer to follow this winter.

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.
