Doncaster are building up nicely to the Betfair Trainers’ Championship on March 23. The south Yorkshire venue are to stage a host of opens in the weeks leading up to the big event so that the six competing trainers have plenty of time to accustom their runners, and shape team tactics, ahead of the shootout.
Charlie Lister romped home in last year’s Betfair-backed showpiece at Sheffield – remember his six winners from seven runners? – and has a good record with his runners at Doncaster.
He sent out Carbarns Tom to finish second in last year’s Yorkshire St Leger and the same dog, who won a leg at Sheffield for Lister 12 months ago, could well be back again.
Lister takes on Seamus Cahill, Barrie Draper, Chris Allsopp, Dean Childs and Mark Wallis, with each handler represented by one runner in each of eight races over two, four and six bends.
