Racing Tip – 2016 Lincoln Handicap

Racing Tip – Free tip for the Lincoln at Doncaster on Saturday

Free racing tip for the Lincoln at Doncaster, the one-mile heritage handicap marks the beginning of the new flat race season.

Following several disappointing seasons the Godolphin operation have declared recently their intention to up the stakes in the months ahead and while the Betway Lincoln at Doncaster is far from towards the top of their ‘wish list’ the powerful operation can get the turf Flat season off to the best possible start by taking the one mile Heritage Handicap with ex-Richard Guest-trained Udododontu.

The four-year-old son of Lope De Vega is available at 10-1 with several bookmakers including Betvictor who are paying out on the first five horses home. With our original ante-post fancy Mitraad a non-runner after failing to please trainer William Haggas earlier in the week the mount of James Doyle can get the better of likely favourite Lord Of The Land, Mutarakez and Brave Zolo who are all unexposed and open to plenty more improvement, unlike the majority of the 22-runner field, made up mainly of exposed handicappers.

After winning two of his first three starts as a three-year-old for his previous handler Udododontu was thrown in at the deep end when taking on 27 rivals in Royal Ascot’s Britannia Stakes, finding only the classy Aidan O’Brien inmate War Envoy too good, going down by just a neck after taking it up over a furlong out. Having his first run for his new connections seven months later at Meydan the gelding made a winning debut in Dubai with a comfortable three and a quarter length victory.

A narrow second on his most recent start at the same venue Udododontu will not lack for fitness on Town Moor and with more improvement likely looks sure to go close from stall ten with the finish possibly being fought out by those drawn middle to low.
