Grouchos Smasher put in an eyecatching performance last time out, winning at B5 from this very box in 28.69 seconds despite being crowded in the run-in. He took the lead at the second bend and held on through pressure — the hallmark of a dog with both pace and determination. His form before that was modest, with a third and fourth, but the style of that last victory suggests he may have turned a corner. He races wide from the stripes, which is typical of trap 6 runners, but Doncaster's fair nature means the wider route is less punishing than it would be at a tighter circuit. Trainer Overton's overall win rate is modest at 14% but this dog looks to be improving.
