In the last episode of the weekend winners, the panel aims at Doncaster where the flat flat season really begins with Handicap Lincoln on Saturday.
Prophet Kate Tracey has joined The Races’ Declan Rix and Sky Sports Racing’s Senior Analyst Jamie Lynch to see the action of the weekend, with betting angles and advised knowledge.
Conditions in Town Moor are currently good for soft, with 22 runners set to fight it for the prestigious handicap of William Hill Lincoln – the traditional curtain curtain for the flat terrain season.
Last year’s winner Mr. Professor has returned to defend his title, while Wathnan Racing are well represented through Midnight Gun and Native Warrior. Thunder Run leads the market for Clifford Lee and Karl Burke, with Rossa Ryan taking the trip to Orandi, which carries a 5lb penalty.

“Trends sat me again Thunder. He has a four-year-old corner, as well as his official rating of 100 to four of the last eight winners have had that rating, with the remainder there or around the country. He is making his reappearance after finishing fourth in the balm when he was heavily supported, only three lengths were beaten.
“His best efforts have come to a better surface, I know he has proven to be versatile, but he seems to prefer that faster land-we hope that this would not count against him. The fact that he was unenforceable as a two-year would suggest that he had much more to come.”
Jamie Lock
“There is a horse hidden in simple views with the same profile as Thunder Run, but with a trend against it. Whip It is not being discussed because the comprehensive tendency with Lincoln is it either is the first time or returns from Dubai – these are the only way you earn a Lincoln in the last 25 years.
The Wolverhampton Race (Trial) has almost become redundant, but, if you look at it, Whip Cracker did so well to end up in a messy race and all the positives that saw him sent from 9/4 favorite are still in the game. The winner that day was a symbol of light under a great journey by Jason Watson, while Whip Cracker was caught far away, but still had the second highest rate of ending in the race.
“Since that day, the yard has gone from operating to 10 percent to 22 percent, including a pair in Chelmsford on Thursday. This is exactly the horse you are looking for in a lincoln, sitting on some strong lines, including Bolster and Jayarebe. On the table.
Declan Rix
“You probably want a four or five-year-old with a progressive profile, so I’m going with Thunder. A four -year -old this season, he has only had six career beginnings and I hope there is a little more to come this year. I just can’t get his race in last season balm from my head – he did a lot on the soft ground in the front and the percentage of winner’s ending speed was 93 percent.
“He clearly did very quickly without covering the tough road when he was a three year old taking his elders. If they can ration his speed a little better this time he can go well, and Karl Burke is a pound of the best coaches in Europe and perhaps the world.”
