3pm £35,000 Littlewoods Bet Direct Lincoln Trial (4yo+,0-105) 1m100yds
1) (1) 45-1 Quito 29 David Chapman 7-10-0b Tony Culhane
Tote Ayr Gold Cup winner over six furlongs and yet to prove he really is as effective over this sort of trip. Won a six-furlong handicap at Wolverhampton recently but has more to do here.
BP = 12/1 Ladbrokes
2) (11) 0-64 Bonecrusher 21 David Loder 5-9-13v Richard Hughes
Fourth at Lingfield’s all-weather Polytrack over 10 furlongs last month after running at Nad Al Sheba, Dubai the month before. He should be suited by this slower Fibresand surface which has been riding particularly slow as long as he does not get back too far. Quality trainer and jockey
BP = 7/1 Coral Eurobet
3) Lygeton Lad non-runner
4) (8) 410-Cornelius 112 Paul Cole 7-9-09 Kevin Darley
Largely untried on sand, he has not been seen out since November.
BP = 18/1 William Hill
5) (6) 20-7 Vintage Premium 21 Richard Fahey 7-9-09 T Hamilton (5)
Another season performer who has switched his attention to sand, running seventh in Lingfield’s Winter Derby on 10 furlongs when Bonecrusher was fourth.
BP = 22/1 Coral Eurobet, Ladbrokes, totesport, William Hill
6) (7) 12-1 Mi Odds 43 Norma Macauley 8-9-08 Darryll Holland
Improved rapidly over the last year and is effective at a number of distances including this one. Won easily here at the end of January over this trip but the form has not worked out. Also 3lb worse off with Nimello who beat him two and a half lengths.
BP = 15/2 William Hill
7) (3) 9802 Te Quiero 22 Gay Kelleway 6-9-02et Steve Drowne
Second here over a mile last time out and finished clear of the third and the winner Consonant won again afterwards. However, overall form is fairly modest.
BP = 9/2 Coral Eurobet, Blue Square, Ladbokes, Bet365
8) (13) 1111 Vortex 19 Gay Kelleway 5-8-12et Ian Mongan
Prolific winner but meets his toughest challenge yet.
