Saturday – 1.50 Doncaster – Atherstone Warrior

I’ve ridden him a few times at home, and he is a nice horse. I think in time he will want 7f and beyond. He should like the ground and with stall 10, I think it’s a good draw. I am hoping he shows his talent, but whatever happens, he is a lovely horse for the future.

2.25 Doncaster – Expressionless

He won on soft ground at Epson and Nottingham last year early in the campaign. He has come down the weights since then but if he reproduces what he is capable of, he can be competitive off this mark. I think he has a solid each-way chance.

3.35 Doncaster – Spirit Genie

It’s great to be riding in the Lincoln. This is one of the best handicap races of the season. My horse only won a seller last year, but he was then second in a class three contest, beaten less than a length. He will like the ground at Town Moor, and he has a low weight. We are an outsider, but with low weight on bottomless ground, there is always a good chance of causing an upset and running into the top three.

Sunday – 3.05 Doncaster – Parisiac
