Dartmoor set for Donny double

GRIM AND PROPER: Dartmoor Pirate and Doyen Du Bar (inset right) are fancied at Doncaster

DARTMOOR PIRATE (2.30) can ransack more prize money in the Virgin Bet Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster today.

The seven-year-old has already snared one famous old handicap at Town Moor when winning the Great Yorkshire Chase last month.

He needed every yard of the three miles that day to beat New Order, who he reopposes today, and the extra two furlongs should really play to his stamina strengths.

Anthony Honeyball's beast is improving, unexposed and can confirm the form with New Order on 5lb worse terms.

It's a good betting race and at 15-2 he looks a fair old punt.
