Edinburgh Knight primed for Lincoln battle

Paul d’Arcy is not concerned that Edinburgh Knight will be carrying top weight in the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster today.

The Newmarket handler feels it is warranted after the five-year-old signed off last season in great form with wins at Ascot and in a Listed event at Kempton.

With regular rider Jim Crowley over in Dubai to ride Prohibit, d’Arcy has booked leading Irish jockey Pat Smullen.
