LINCOLN ended a two-year losing run when scoring over the minimum at Ayr last week under Graham Lee and he's better over today's trip so a follow-up looks on the cards despite a penalty. Love Island found Class 2 company and a 5lb rise for her victory at Ripon beyond her when tackling this course and distance a week ago and this is much more like her level. Regal Dan hasn't won since June of last year but is still 3lb higher while Gin In The Inn only won a Class 5 handicap here last month and couldn't handle a 6lb rise in this company 10 days later. Roy Bowring has done a brilliant job with Ace Master, who was scoring for the 12th time on his 65th start here earlier this month and he's still at the right end of the handicap.
