Newbury Selection

Doncaster Rover will attempt to improve on last season's third-placing when he tackles the Group Three Shadwell Stakes at Newbury.

The David Brown-trained four-year-old was third 12 months ago and arrives in good form following two placed efforts at the same level over seven furlongs.

"He ran well in the race last year when the ground was a bit too soft for him. I was worried the same was going to happen again, but they tell me it's just good at the moment, which would really suit him," said Brown.

"He's been running well all year and all his form is rock-solid. He ran really well to finish fourth in the Duke Of York at the start of the season and Frankie Dettori said afterwards we should try him over seven.
