Warning issued for Lincoln hot-pot

EXPRESSO Star features among a maximum field of 22 for the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster tomorrow.

The four-year-old comes into the race chasing a four-timer having won his final three starts last season, but connections have warned they want to see some rain if they are to let the colt take his chance.

Peter Shoemark, racing secretary for trainer John Gosden, said: “We are praying for a bit of rain. They only had 0.5mm overnight but there is a bit forecast before Saturday I think.”
