Doncaster's Lincoln Handicap, the first big betting event of the flat season on turf, returns to its traditional home after a couple of years on the road due to track redevelopment and will doubtless re-establish itself as a hot betting heat.

Up to 30 runners will charge down the straight mile at Town Moor and those eyeing a bet on the race will be keen to glean any evidence of draw bias from earlier contests at the meeting.

Horses fit from all-weather racing through the winter often attract serious betting interest and are popular on ante-post odds betting lists. For such a wide-open event, the record of three winning favourites from the last eight runnings is a good strike rate for those betting on the market leader. The most recent to oblige was Sir Michael Stoute's Stream Of Gold, at odds of 5/1, in 2005.

Trainer Paul Cole has a particularly good record in this betting event of sending out winning favourites, and achieved the feat twice in successive years in 2000 & 2001, both horses (John Ferneley and Nimello) being ridden by Jimmy Fortune.

With plenty of long odds-placed horses, each-way betting is also popular on this traditional cavalry charge.

my favourite racing paper the sporting life helped me after six weeks form study to pick the winner of the lincoln handicap in 1981 in the form of saher @ 18/1,the sporting life was a great paper for form students and helped me to many winners it is sorely missed from my point of view, it also proved the observation of the old old aga khan when he said that horses run remarkably true to form and if the punter spent as much time studying form as putting in a days work he could he could not help but make a living from horse racing
