Verdict

Fairly useful Flat performer MR LINCOLN looks interesting dropped in class and is fancied to get off the mark over hurdles, with Made All and Alvesta also appealing in a competitive low-grade handicap.

1	Strong-travelling fourth in higher grade at Perth before continuing in good heart on Flat (fairly useful). This looks the ideal sort of test on return to hurdling, and he's fancied to snap a long losing run. 1st Pick 1 Mr Lincoln Jockey: Sean Quinlan Trainer: Iain Jardine J: Sean Quinlan T: Iain Jardine	100	-	-	-	20%	4/1

2	Backed up promising handicap hurdle debut when third in a slightly better race at Market Rasen in late-May. Again caught the eye when well-backed third in 1½m handicap on the Flat at Catterick on Wednesday and still lurking on a potentially good mark over hurdles. 2nd Pick 2 Made All Jockey: Jonathan England Trainer: Sam England J: Jonathan England T: Sam England	99	-	-	-	25%	3/1

6	Belatedly capitalised on a falling mark in selling handicap over C&D on final start for George Bewley. Ran well in spite of the longer trip when well-backed third at this track (2¾m) and looks interesting back down in distance on just second start for capable local yard. 3rd Pick 6 Alvesta Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: James Moffatt J: Brian Hughes T: James Moffatt	97	-	-	-	27%	11/4
