Adam Williams presents his prediction for the Livescore Bet Doonside Cup Stakes (Listed Race, 1m 2f, 3yo+) horse racing event.
Phantom Flight has run three times this season. He kicked off with a Listed win, followed by a third and a second-place finish in Group 3 races. For his victory, he was allocated an extra 3lb and currently holds the favourite spot.
Persica has had six outings this year, clinching victory in two starts, albeit in handicaps. With a month's break since his last run, Richard Hannon's charge could show improvement after placing third in the Winter Hill Stakes.
Veteran Sir Busker has also had six starts, beginning his season as early as January 1. The team, however, had to wait until August 24 for his victory in the Sky Bet Finale Handicap at York. Trainer William Knight completed a double in that race, as Sir Busker, under apprentice Brandon Wilkie, edged out his stablemate Dual Identity.
Enfjaar began the season strongly, winning two handicaps and finishing second in his subsequent start. In his last outing in the Sky Bet Strensall Stakes (Group 3), he finished fifth, but at a 4/1 price on bet365, he presents a tempting choice.
