Flat racing kicks off in customary fashion at Doncaster on Saturday with the SBK Lincoln Handicap.
The £100,000 contest takes centre stage on an eight-race card, with a maximum field heading to post for an event that regularly produces a Group horse. William Haggas won the competitive mile race with Addeybb in 2018, a horse that has since gone on to win four Group 1 races – and the trainer could win the race for a fifth time as he saddles ante-post favourite Mujtaba.
Unbeaten in three career starts so far, the son of Dubawi took a good handicap at Redcar in October in fine style. Backers will hope he could be well ahead of his official rating of 98.
