Doncaster 4:45 Result

Henley On Thames is progressive and hasn't stopped improving - form reads 62211, winning his last two starts including a recent success, with the form clearly on an upward curve. He's crept up to OR 83 but is still weighted lower than several rivals despite arguably being the most in-form horse in the field. Amo Racing/David Egan is a strong combination and this trainer knows how to place these types. The 2yo nursery form with back-to-back wins suggests he's relishing this trip and there could be more to come as he progresses. Innichen and Pride Of Toledo top the weights at 85 and both have solid recent form (Innichen 211303, Pride Of Toledo 514) but Innichen's profile shows some inconsistency in a bigger field, while Pride Of Toledo is stepping up in class having only won a maiden last time. Launch Sequence (James Doyle, K.R. Burke) is interesting with figures of 336 but hasn't shown the plough-through-the-line win yet at this level, and first-time cheekpieces add a slight query. Henley On Thames's trajectory - two wins on the bounce, clearly working out what he's doing - gives him the strongest claim to keep improving into this evenly-matched nursery. David Egan is in excellent form and his booking suggests confidence from the yard. The gelding looks to have the profile of one who's found his form and is relishing this grade, and represents value versus the level-weighted market leaders.
