TODAYS TIPS (MONDAY)

Matt Polley heads to Doncaster for his best bets of the day to kick start the week.

Fierce Warrior is a young stayer on the up, but he looked like he needed all of the three mile two furlongs last time, and this drop back on better ground leaves him vulnerable.

A chance is taken with Some Scope to bounce back to the form which enabled him to win the Rowland Meyrick this time last year. The application of visors and good ground, gives enough reason to suggest he may be up to it.

SOME SCOPE (WIN)

A low grade affair, however, there’s a couple in here making their handicap debut’s, which could be significant.

The first is Park Talk. He’s an Irish point winner, and has gained a mark running in some competitive novices. His mark is certainly manageable, but does he need further?

Queen Roslyn is the other handicap debutante. She looked progressive on the all weather before switching codes. Her first three runs over hurdles have been underwhelming, but it would be no surprise to see an improvement off a basement mark and feather weight.

QUEEN ROSLYN (WIN)
