4.45 Doncaster, Wednesday, September 7

I’m just breaking myself away from a Free Slots online session to provide you with a mid week tip. Don’t worry I’ve not let casino games take centre stage, I’m just gearing up for my fast approaching trip to Great Yarmouth, which is a little under two weeks away now. I’ll be sure to let you know I get on at the races and the casino afterwards. Let’s hope it makes for happy reading!

In the 4.45 at Doncaster on Wednesday, Mount Logan carries a 6lb penalty for winning a Listed race at Goodwood earlier this season, which may make him vulnerable, especially as he was bitterly disappointing when only sixth of seven, beaten 8 lengths, behind Kings Fete when last seen at Goodwood in July. Roger Varian’s 5-year-old has had a break to recover from his exertions, but may still have to give best to Oasis Fantasy, who has officially improved by 15lb in handicaps since the start of the season and fully deserves a crack at some black type.

The Oasis Dream gelding is 4lb better off with Mount Logan than in a handicap and has run creditably in defeat in valuable handicaps over 1 mile 2 furlongs, 1 mile 2½ furlongs and 1 mile 4 furlongs since winning over the latter distance at Newmarket in May. He’s looked an awkward ride, but wears a first-time visor and is reunited with Silvestre De Sousa, who’s won on him once and finished second on him twice on the three occasions he’s ridden him this season, so he should lack nothing in terms of assistance from the saddle. He probably doesn’t want too much rain, but the prevailing good to soft going on Town Moor is fine and he looks to have bright prospects of making a successful transition to Listed company.

Selection: Doncaster 4.45 Oasis Fantasy to win
