The following represents the predicted run styles of the horses - sorted by draw - based on their prominence or otherwise in recent races.
The conclusions are given numerically as EPFs (early position figures) and graphically. A figure of 1 would indicate a dyed-in-the-wool front runner, while a figure of 5 would indicate a horse that habitually races at the back.
The indications are that there are fewer pace-forcers than might be expected (3 as opposed to about 5 customarily for a field of this size) and that what "pace" there is may be concentrated in the mid-to-high stalls.
There are doubts as to whether racing at Doncaster will go ahead on Saturday, due to the threat of snow and frost, with a cancellation currently trading at 1.7 on Betfair.
