Penitent out of Lincoln

Top-weight and previous winner Penitent is a notable absentee at the declaration stage for tomorrow’s William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster.

The six-year-old’s trainer David O’Meara said earlier in the week his charge was not a definite runner on Town Moor and is instead set to contest the Prix Edmond Blanc at Saint-Cloud on Sunday.

Ante-post favourite Eton Forever features among a maximum field of 22 runners.
