Doncaster 4.10 ... Northern Fling @ 14/1
Northern Fling's only other run here at 7fl was for Dandy Nicholls back in 2009 when running in a Class2 h/cap off 15lb higher than today.
Has won here off 23lb higher, (albeit in a class2 sprint for horses rated 86 to 96) from 4 runs at Doncaster, but has been running well for Jim Goldie since joining the yard after being stepped up from sprint distances.
He drops into this grade 5 for the first ever time, yet with his jockey's 5lb claim is only 2lb off bottom weight today and off his lowest mark since handicapping.
Jason Hart has won 2 from 11 in the last fortnight (18% win strike rate) and with either winning/placed on around 30% of all rides this season should be losing a couple more pounds of his claim sooner, rather than later.
Off his reduced mark, Northern Fling should be capable of winning this final flat turf handicap of the season.
