The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson with three horse racing tips from Doncaster and Epsom on Thursday
Three horses to include in a treble on Thursday . . .
Desert Flower (3.00 Doncaster)
Desert Flower created a fine impression on her debut at Newmarket in July, striding clear of the reopposing Flight when meeting the rising ground despite being plenty green throughout. The form looks good, with the runner-up and fourth winning since, and she couldn't have been more impressive when following up under a penalty at the same course last month. She should be suited to a mile and can take the step up in class in her stride.
Harper's Ferry (4.10 Doncaster)
Harper's Ferry showed plenty of promise on his sole juvenile start, finishing second over a mile with the now 112-rated Almaqam five lengths behind in fourth, and got off the mark at the third attempt at Windsor in April over 1m2f. He won with something to spare that day and the form looks good, with the second and sixth now rated 92, while the third has also won since. He travelled well for a long way before being short of room and fading when upped to 1m4f for the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, and this well-regarded sort, who was thought of as a possible Derby contender in the spring, should be a major force back in trip and class on his handicap debut.
Crimson Spirit (5.22 Epsom)
Improved with each run in novice and maiden company, culminating in a comfortable victory here last August when producing a useful RPR of 84. He took a while to make an impact in handicaps but produced his best RPR since that victory when back at Epsom last month, going down by just a length after being slowly into stride. He's definitely worth another go at this trip and should be up to winning in Class 5 company, while he has plenty of knee action, so shouldn't be bothered by softer conditions.
