Our runners this week: How our trainer rates them
Ray’s comments
Thursday night at Cambridge
Race 1: Commander Lincoln
5.29pm
“He’s a runner’s chance, dropping down to amateur grade hopefully he’ll be competitive.”
Race 4: Lenny Lincoln
6.54pm
“He’s got the right draw and should be a bit tougher now he’s had a couple of starts this time in. He seems to like Cambridge so you have to rate him a little bit of a chance.”
Race 7: Leo Lincoln
8.11pm
“He was up against some serious horses last time and this is a big drop down in class so you have to show him some respect. The wide draw makes it tougher.”
Race 8: Lincoln La Moose
8.36pm
“He’s a delicately built guy who took a little time to cope with the work. I think the ability is there and he looks to have strengthened a bit so he should go reasonably well from four on the gate.”
Race 8: Lincoln Cove
8.36pm
“Zac reckoned he would have gone straight on by on debut at Cambridge had he not galloped. My opinion about him is still guarded and I’d like to see him get round safely. He certainly has a few tricks - he ranged up looking dangerous in Saturday’s trial and for some inexplicable reason had a gallop.”
