Sky Sports Racing's Jamie Lynch previews the William Hill Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster as the Flat season resumes. Eternal Force, a low-mileage four-year-old trained by William Haggas, is Lynch's top pick. Haggas has won the race five times, and Eternal Force shows all the ingredients for success. La Botte, an anagram of 'a lot bet', is another standout, having impressed in trials and Royal Ascot. Lynch also highlights Urban Lion as a value each-way play, citing his recent form and potential handicap advantage.
The race carries significant weight, with trends showing older horses performing well on the straight mile. Botanic is a wildcard, carrying top weight but boasting Group class from a 2024 runner-up. Valvano could be a dark horse if conditions suit. Lynch's verdict emphasizes the lack of clear formation in the field, making his selections key for punters.
