Each-way tip for Doncaster: Yanifer primed for prominent run in Lincoln Handicap
The Lincoln is the first big flat handicap of the season and usually goes to a highly progressive sort, and Tipstrr racing expert Richard Hutchinson has his expert eye on one in particular.
The one I like at a price is Yanifer, who showed highly progressive form at the back end of last season, winning twice on soft ground over seven furlongs, staying on strongly and spread-eagling the fields, including in a 19-runner handicap over another straight course at York.
The second horse franked the form next time out and Yanifer sneaks in here off 92 on bottom bottom-weight, with the promise of more to come.
Considering he is usually a prominent runner, this had all the hallmarks of a blatant pipe-opener for today, but more importantly for me, it confirmed that he stays the one-mile trip.
His speed ratings are right up there with the best in the field, so I think he can run a huge race from a good berth in stall nine.
His 22/1 price and the extra places being offered by most bookmakers makes him a decent bet and I recommend a point each way.
