Bronze Angel must defy weight to claim Lincoln crown at Doncaster

Dual Cambridgeshire winner Bronze Angel heads a maximum field of 22 for the Betway Lincoln at Doncaster tomorrow.

Marcus Tregoning’s stable stalwart will have to defy the welter burden of 9st 11lb if he is to add the first leg of the spring double to his two wins last autumn.

Ocean Tempest, the 20-1 winner of the Town Moor feature for John Ryan 12 months ago, will try to become the first horse since Babur 57 years ago to land back-to-back Lincoln victories over the straight mile. All of the leading ante-post fancies have been declared, including market leader Mange All, trained by William Haggas.
