"Totally unexposed, Abayaan has the ability to be a fair bit better than this grade, and should be backed to return to winning ways here."
We have an excellent weekend's racing in store, but before then there are five meetings to get stuck into on Friday, and the Timeform Free Form Website offer two selections from Doncaster and one from the jumps meeting at Bangor.
Doncaster is another track to offer free entry as part of the Racing For Change scheme on Friday, and we hope to have unearthed two free winners for race-goers in the shape of Abayaan (3.35) and Murura (4.10) who can make it three from four for James Given. The form of Murura's maiden win has worked out, with the improving second Ryan Style going in next time, and Murura won again himself next time in a minor event at Kempton. The switch to turf shouldn't pose too much of a problem for this half-brother to Morinqua, a multiple winner on grass for the same yard a few years back.
The well-bred Abayaan responded really well when making a winning debut over 11f at Southwell in December, and was sent off favourite on the back of that in a handicap here last month. Abayaan ran respectably in defeat, shaping as if the extra furlongs here will help. Totally unexposed, Abayaan has the ability to be a fair bit better than this grade, and should be backed to return to winning ways here.
Picaroon (7.20) is effectively 6 lb well in at Bangor, and Tim Vaughan's charge can maintain his unbeaten record when completing over fences in the handicap chase over two and a half miles. He was always going well over this trip at Chepstow last week, and providing the rain stays away, would have obvious claims in a race where plenty of his rivals have temperament and reliability issues.
RECOMMENDATIONS

Doncaster 3.35 Abayaan
Doncaster 4.10 Murura
Bangor 7.20 Picaroon
