Lincoln Update


Richard Fahey is assembling a strong team for Saturday's William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster with Extraterrestrial, Albaqaa and Harrison George all heading for the Town Moor highlight.

Albaqaa and Extraterrestrial were third and fourth respectively in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, while Harrison George is set for his first start since running at York in October.

"It's going to be tough for Extraterrestrial off 100 and he has never won off 100 in his life, but I was pleased with his run at Wolverhampton the other day," said Fahey.

"Albaqaa is in good order and I think Paul (Hanagan) will probably ride him. We think he's probably a better horse over a mile and a quarter but the Lincoln is a race where you've got to get home, especially if it's soft ground.

"The trip is the question mark over Harrison George so we'll just have to see with him. He's never run over a mile before but he has gone very laid back, so hopefully he will stay. We've also got Mister Hardy, Prime Exhibit and Irish Heartbeat entered but I don't think they'll get in."
