Chris Dwyer is expecting a big run from Mia's Boy despite his runner being left on top weight in the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster on Saturday.
The six-year-old has been left to shoulder the steadier of 9st 10lb in the prestigious handicap on the first day of the turf season after last year's winner Expresso Star was not among 76 acceptors at the five-day stage.
"Mia's Boy has top-weight but he'll be going there in good form. I was very pleased with his run at Wolverhampton and he has come out of that fine," said the Newmarket trainer.
"He has always run well at Doncaster so hopefully that will continue on Saturday. He just wants nice ground. Good or good to soft would be fine but I would not like it to get heavy because that would just blunt his speed."
John Spearing is hoping the forecast rain will boost Mull Of Killough's chances (my each way selection)
The handler said: "I am pleased with his progress through the winter and it is a case of so far so good. He likes a bit of give in the ground - he is definitely better with a bit of cut so this rain that is around will all be on his side.
"It is always difficult to say if they have improved from three to four until you run them but Mull Of Killough's work is very good and he has had no interruptions or hold ups. He is working well at home and that is as much as I can say, really."
