My Lincoln Ante-Post Selections

John Spearing is hoping the forecast rain will boost Mull Of Killough's (10/1) chances.

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."

Mark Tompkins will be eagerly monitoring the weather forecast for Doncaster as he puts the finishing touches to Smokey Oakey's (25/1) William Hill Lincoln preparation.

"More rain would always help us a bit and it looks like there are some more bands of rain coming in, so at this stage he's a definite runner.
