Doncaster Race 4 - Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Handicap Hurdle

STORMING GEORGE (1) Didn't attack the line when 6th last time in a hurdle at Aintree. Likely to bounce back and promising career start. In strong racing shape since returning from a spell. Can go on with it. GEROMINO (3) Came in 4th last run in a hurdle at Haydock. Should bounce back. Likely to be well placed early. Underrated. I'M A LUMBERJACK (2) Came on strongly to finish 2nd when beaten by 2 1/4L last start in a hurdle at Newbury. Expected to be flashing home. One in a race with many chances. HUFFIN AN A PUFFIN (5) Back from a break of 97 weeks. Rounded them up to win last start in a hurdle at Newbury and having second career run. First appearance for a new trainer. Looks value and a good place bet.

Useful gelding. Last outing came from midfield; finished third of 10 runners at Taunton on January 8 over 3800m, 3 len behind Brave Knight with 74.5kg at $29. The start before that; made some head-way from midfield; finished eighth of 10 runners at Huntingdon on December 7 over 3200m, on slow going 16 len behind We're Red And Blue carrying 75.5kg at $15. Gets a chance to win. Take seriously.
