The proper stuff starts...

The new turf season and the big race is of course the Lincoln at 4.00. We did want Land Shining to win this but it missed the cut and so we are plumping for the lightly raced Yeaman's Hall. If you take the form at face value when this one beat Sunsine Kid (rated 107) then Andrew Balding's charge does get in here on a fair mark. In the 3.25 we are hoping for a good run from Wi Dud. This one took on some top sprinters last season and if fit for his debut he could take some beating. At Kempton Malt Or Mash looks a good thing in the 4.25. He beat a decent horse impressively last time out and can go in again off this mark.
