Lucky 15 Tips: Johnston colt looks the part at Donny

No question where the centre of the racing universe is on Saturday - it's Newmarket, for the season's first Classic, the Betfred 2000 Guineas. I've penned pieces covering all the ITV live content, which embraces four key contests from HQ (the Guineas of course being the highlight); and I've added a separate piece looking at three other notable heats on the stellar card.
So we've got Newmarket pretty well taped, therefore for our Lucky 15 tips I'm going to head to somewhere a little bit different - Doncaster's seven-race evening meeting, which kicks in at 17:10. Ideal follow-on then to the excitement of the afternoon, with a pleasant early-evening visit to South Yorkshire. Three winners for the column the other day, at Chelmsford, and we've had some joy at Newmarket too, so we're hitting form ...
Lucky 15 Tips - Saturday, May 3
Doncaster
17:10 - Take A Breath @ 3/1
Proud Yorkshireman William Haggas loves little more than having a winner in his native county, and his Take A Breath could be the answer here.
The three-year-old Bated Breath filly makes her handicap debut off a mark of 73, after three promising maiden/novice spins last term. Cieren Fallon takes the mount.
'Dad' was a high-class sprinter but there's stamina on the dam's side courtesy of Nashwan's half-brother Nayef, the Juddmonte and Prince Of Wales G1 star.
18:20 - Competizione @ 7/2
Team Gosden field this three-year-old Too Darn Hot colt who shook off the cobwebs 16 days ago at HQ, not appearing to enjoy the undulations; and Competizione will doubtless know more about the job today.
Also, Donny's flatter plains could suit, and this doesn't appear to be a red-hot maiden. The excellent Benoit De La Sayette has the riding assignment.
19:20 - Chuti Manika @ 5/2
Charlie Johnston raids from his Middleham Moor base with a promising three-year-old Magna Grecia colt.
The gloriously-named Chuti Manika (answers on a postcard please) has one win from nine starts and arguably ran a career-best on seasonal reappearance a week ago at Ripon at this trip (beaten a neck, off 71).
Turns out swiftly, up 2lb for that excellent run, and is entitled to come on for it. Nice chance, for this likeable, consistent sort. Ollie Stammers is on top.
19:54 - Bas Bleu @ 6/4
George Downing does the steering here for Ed Walker's four-year-old Masar filly Bas Bleu.
She's won once in 11 starts and is another with a standout effort last time on seasonal reappearance, going down by less that a length at Kempton 18 days ago off 75.
The assessor has only raised her a pound for that which is possibly quite generous - we'll soon find out! Runs perfectly well on turf and the all-weather, and has an obvious chance in my book to secure win number two.
The odds can fluctuate between publishing our pieces and race-time. As a guide, a £0.50p win Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the prices, and assuming all four won, would return around £215 for your total £7.50 stake.
