Setting a President for the Lincoln....

Off shopping (after reading this, you could argue the items to be purchased should be a straight jacket and a season ticket to the nearest mental hospital) so i'll be quick!!!



My 3 against the field, in quite possibly the TOUGHEST handicap of the year are:


CHAPTER SEVEN (12/1)

Beat "talking horse" Lahaag fair and square, then got snapped up for a cool £95,00 by them of the  bottomless pockets, Pearl Bloodstock Ltd, drawn dead centre in 14, G Lee can just follow the pace set by the higher drawn horses, including Brae Hill (see below) and basically see, at the distance, whether the animal is indeed good enough.

BRAE HILL (16/1)

Drawn higher than Chapter Seven, so , drawn to ATTACK!!!...and attack he will, a bit of a "Standing Dish" in this race, finishing second off 95 in 2011, a dramatic victor last year off 95, and has a CRACKERJACK of a chance this afternoon, running off, you've guessed it 95!!!!

Now, PLEEEEEASE humour me for the third, and final (maybe of my entire tipping career!) selection....

LEVITATE (33/1, 1/4 odds, 5 places with Paddy Power)

So, "technically" he is handicapped to finish around 18th of the 22 runners and is priced to do so, but, and I mean BUT.....if you trail back through scraps of his form, he is a mile winner, a Donny winner, AND a C&D winner (one of only 4 in the entire race), albeit at a lesser grade, he won not one but two ultra competitive handicaps (when looking beat for ALL money in both) then missed the break by 6 lengths (only go beat around 4 lengths) next time out when was sent of 5/1 2nd fav, then was totally outclassed in the £100,000 Cambridgeshire after getting behind, but this horse IS A TRIER let me tell ya, drawn low next to a lot of fancied runners, Lahaag, Memory Cloth, Global Village, Hit The jackpot, to name but a few, he is certain to get a tug into the race.  At the furlong point, if my lad is within a couple of lengths, 33/1 will look mighty fine, don't get me wrong, all of these unexposed/class horses rated in the high 90's and beyond could well improve straight past him, BUT, my fella is battle hardened, an armadillo of the equine world, the more you ask, the more he gives, and for this reason, i'd back the slugger over the dancer ANY day of the week, Mike Tyson vs Rudolf Nureyev, I know where my hard earned would be going EVERY time........



Be Lucky!!!
