They'll have to be quick off the mark to catch FAST RESPONSE (3.00) in the Pertemps Network Cammidge Trophy.
The Doncaster ground for the first day of the Flat turf season is likely to be extremely testing and that will suit Karl Burke’s filly.
She hit form at the back end of last season in some order. In little more than three weeks during October, she rattled up three wins.
A couple of those victories were at Doncaster on heavy going, with her smooth defeat of Tarhib and Art Power in the Listed Wentworth Stakes coming over this 6f distance.
There’s every chance she can kick on again this season with conditions in her favour. Have 2pts each-way at 9-1. Plenty of bookies are paying out on four places.
The Pertemps Network Lincoln is typically competitive with unexposed four-year-olds Al Mubhir, Awaal and Wanees towards the top of the betting.
It makes BARADAR (3.35) an attractive price on just his second start for trainer George Boughey.
The first also came at Doncaster when he easily beat in-form Biggles over 7f on the final day of the turf season in November.
That victory followed a three-month break and he also ran his best race for previous trainer Johnny Murtagh when making his seasonal return.

His third place in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity over this course and distance as a two-year-old, shows he’s got plenty of back-class and the return to 1m clearly won’t be an issue. Have 1pt each-way at 10-1. Several bookies are paying out on six places, with Sky Bet stretching to seven.
The consolation race for the Lincoln, the Pertemps Network Spring Mile, is equally competitive.
HARSWELL DUKE (2.25) stays this trip well and he will love the testing surface.
It was no coincidence that he recorded back-to-back wins in October last year when heavy rain swept the country.
He might have added to his victories at Nottingham and Leicester on his final start of the season but his wide draw meant he had to work hard to grab the early lead. It also came just two days after his previous win.
A recent spin on the all-weather should have put the edge on Roger Fell’s runner, so he has plenty in his favour. Have 1pt each-way at 14-1 with similar terms to the Lincoln.
