Friday tips: Katie Midwinter has five picks across four meetings

George Scott's runners usually perform well at Doncaster and the yard is two from two at the track so far this year.

Rizal is an interesting representative for the stable in this mile-and-a-quarter handicap, as the four-year-old gelding makes only his ninth career start, still bidding for a first win. He finished a creditable third to Naval Tribute on yard debut at Kempton in March, in his first run for 151 days, beaten only a length by a subsequent dual winner now rated 12lb higher.

The son of Lope De Vega, who fetched €58,000 as a yearling and is out of a Group Three-placed daughter of Sea The Stars in Ridenza, should have more to give over the intermediate distances and is entitled to improve for his latest run. He had shown some promise in handicaps for Johnny Murtagh last season, performing consistently well in big fields, and could be worth keeping the faith in as he bids to get off the mark under Darragh Keenan.

Although she hasn't been at her best so far this year, Summer Snow could return to some form from a mark 5lb lower than her latest win with 5lb claiming Patrick McGettigan in the plate.

The six-year-old grey mare shaped better than in her previous runs of the year at Down Royal when last seen, and could take a step forward from that effort here for Peter Lawlor.

A three-time winner in 2025, Summer Snow is yet to match that level of form following a generally consistent and fruitful previous campaign, however, it may be too early to give up on the experienced mare and she's on a mark from which she should be competitive if returning to the force of old.

Course-and-distance winner Angel Shared makes appeal in this 6f handicap for the fillies, and could be capable of carrying top weight to victory.

Trained by Steph Hollinshead, the five-year-old mare has plenty of course experience in her favour and enjoyed three wins from three starts on the July Course last summer. Her latest win came from a 1lb higher mark when narrowly beating Cuban Lady here, and she has shown she still possesses plenty of ability with a couple of good efforts so far this term.

At Bath in April, the daughter of Harry Angel finished an excellent two-length fifth to Azure Angel in a 14-runner Listed contest, before being narrowly denied by Regal Envoy at the same venue. These are calmer waters and she should be able to make her presence felt under Dougie Costello in familiar surroundings.

Four-year-old filly Indigo Dream appears on a workable mark of 83 from which she should be capable of holding her own if able to enjoy a favourable trip.

In recent outings, she has failed to find a clear run at a crucial stage in respective races at the Curragh and Cork that are worth forgiving, but she's capable of posing a dangerous threat with a bit of luck and warrants consideration under former champion jockey Colin Keane.

The 7f maiden winner placed twice to now 105-rated Stateira in Newcastle handicaps earlier this year, finishing ahead of now 105-rated Carolina Jetstream on once occasions. There's substance to her form and she makes appeal at the weights for Ross O'Sullivan.

At the early 50-1 available, Sir Yoshi shouldn't be completely discounted as he's far from a forlorn hope if able to return to his best back over the minimum distance.

Trained by the in-form Geoffrey Harker, the son of Mehmas will be bidding to find a resurgence in form, but has dropped 9lb from his yard debut last autumn and is 3lb lower than when far from disgraced at Thirsk over 6f last month.

The four-year-old gelding shaped with great promise earlier in his career with a number of creditable efforts at Listed level, against some tough opposition. He's yet to pose a threat in handicap company but returns over the 5f trip here and could have more to give.
