Swan aims Throw at Lincoln

CHARLIE SWAN is preparing Crooked Throw for a quick turnaround in Saturday’s William Hill Lincoln at Newcastle, six days after his second place in the Irish equivalent.

Although eventually beaten eight lengths by the easy winner Deauville Vision at the Curragh, his trainer reckons the eight-year-old put in a particularly good effort on what was his seasonal reappearance.

“I think I am going to let him run now – he likes cut in the ground and he’s got 9st to carry,” said Swan.
