FUN Mac, withdrawn at the start of the Ebor Handicap at York last month, can gain handsome compensation at Doncaster this afternoon.

Hughie Morrison's talented four-year-old, who was pulled out on veterinary advice on Knavesmire, lines-up in the Socialites E-Cigarettes Expert Doncaster Cup with Robert Havlin in the saddle.

Restricted to only three outings this season, Fun Mac won at Salisbury on his reappearance, finished second in the Ascot Stakes and also filled the runner-up slot at Goodwood on his latest start.

He has a bit to find with two or three of his rivals here, but he is open to further improvement and is selected to come out on top.

Gutaifan will be hard to beat in the opening Fly Aer Lingus From Doncaster Sheffield Flying Childers Stakes over five furlongs.

Richard Hannon's speedy youngster has continued to thrive this season and was runner-up to Shalaa in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville on his latest start following a third consecutive win in the Prix Morny.

The step back to the minimum trip here should not count against Gutaifan, who is fancied to have a little too much firepower for his rivals, which includes Kevin Ryan's Areen and the lightly raced Ornate trained by William Haggas.

Not Never, who was denied only in the final strides at York last month, can get back on top in the Ladbrokes Mallard Handicap.

The three-year-old, trained by Hugo Palmer, made much of the running in the Melrose on Knavesmire but was nailed near the finish by Polarisation, who renews rivalry this afternoon.

Not Never meets him on better terms today and, with Graham Gibbons again on board, he is taken to gain a deserved victory and initiate a double for his trainer.

Palmer can also win the istsecuritysolutions.co.uk May Hill Stakes with Hawksmoor, the mount of Harry Bentley.

Winner of two of her three starts, Hawksmoor prevailed in the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood last time. She is fully entitled to step up to Group 2 company here and is expected to relish this step up to one mile.

Toofi (4.15) is napped to come good dropped back into handicap company, while the highly-regarded Tashweeq (4.50) is fancied to give Paul Hanagan a winner on day three of the St Leger meeting

At Sandown, Jack Nevison and Some Show can provide in-form trainer Henry Candy with a double in the first two races.

Jack Nevison made a promising start to his career at Newbury when finishing third in maiden company on his debut seven weeks ago. He should be involved in the business end of the British Stallion Studs Maiden Stakes.

Some Show, who runs in the Federation Of Bloodstock Agents Handicap, has been lightly raced this season. She has had just two starts but has shown enough encouragement, not least when beaten only a length into fourth at Goodwood last time, to suggest that she can come into her own this autumn

Figment makes appeal in the Kingsway Claims Fillies' Handicap.

John Gosden's three-year-old finally came good at Newmarket last time when winning an ordinary maiden by a wide margin. She is now fancied to make her presence felt in handicap company.
