An intriguing Brocklesby to kick off the Lincoln meeting with several interesting juveniles lining up, but marginal preference lies with the Karl Burke-trained INDICATION CALL. His dam is a half-sister to Toocoolforschool, who landed the Mill Reef for this stable, and the son of first-season sire Soldier's Call could well make a pleasing start to his racing career. Valadero cost 250,000 euros as a yearling so must be feared, while Loaded Gun is just one other to bear in mind.

The market should provide plenty of clues for the curtain-raiser to the Turf Flat season, but the speedily-bred INDICATION CALL is an obvious place to start given the form of Karl Burke's juveniles last term. Valadero's sales price rose significantly from foal to yearling and he looks another likely type, while Loaded Gun is an interesting contender for Andrew Balding.

The Flat turf season is back and VALADERO, who has strong credentials, is taken to win the opener. Indication Call is feared most.

Arthur's Realm arrives following a fair showing at Newcastle on his return to action and he must enter calculations, despite competing off a figure 9lb higher than when winning this last year. However, BALTIMORE BOY remains unexposed and has every chance of building on a creditable second from his latest outing in a 0-90 classified event at Ascot in September. There should be a lot more to come from Michael Bell's four-year-old this season. Tropez Power and The Gatekeeper can also have a big say in proceedings.

TROPEZ POWER is thriving under the tutelage of John Quinn yet can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when an excellent Newcastle second last time out so is fancied to bag a third win of 2023. Course-scorer Broken Spear could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on his comeback run with fine 5 lb claimer Billy Loughnane now in the saddle. Low-mileage duo Baltimore Boy and The Gatekeeper along with last year's winner Arthur's Realm complete the shortlist.

Provided he takes well to first-time headgear, DIRTYOLDTOWN may be the answer. Baltimore Boy is feared most.

Even though EL CABALLO failed to get involved when sent off joint-favourite for the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, he is still a sprinter of immense potential and will be hard to beat on his first appearance since. He has run well fresh in the past and the way in which he won the Sandy Lane at Haydock on his penultimate outing is evidence of his quality. Asjad was only denied by a short head over C&D on his final start of 2022 and can make his mark outside of handicap company this season. Dual Stewards' Cup hero Commanche Falls completes the shortlist.

A starting point of the season for most of these and one that boasts an excellent record fresh is COMMANCHE FALLS. He gets the nod to enhance that statistic further and get the better of the prolific El Caballo, who hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot but faces far more suitable conditions for his return. Fast Response and Asjad are another couple worth keeping a close eye on.

A competitive Cammidge can go to ASJAD whose attractive profile includes excellent course form and an impressive record after a break.

AWAAL is the least exposed member of this year's Lincoln line-up and ran out an impressive winner at Redcar back in October. The Crisfords saddled the second in this prestigious handicap last term and they can go one better with the promising son of Lope De Vega, who won't mind the ground and has the services of James Doyle to call upon. A winner over C&D last September, Atrium must be a key player, along with Wanees, who was lightly raced last season but scored in two of his four starts. Al Mubhir and Montassib give William Haggas a strong hand, while Baradar and Bopedro can also have a say in proceedings.

Simon and Ed Crisford saddled the runner-up in this last year and are taken to go one better this time courtesy of AWAAL, who made a mockery of an opening mark of 93 at Redcar last autumn and surely has more to come after only 4 starts. Baradar immediately got his career back on track for the George Boughey yard here last backend and could have more to come for his new stable so he's second choice. Al Mubhir, whose trainer is seeking an outright record fifth win in this, is next on the list.

The very lightly raced AWAAL (nap) was seriously impressive when winning on his handicap debut at Redcar last October.

A winner in Group 3 company twice last season, TEMPUS sets the standard on the back of respectable efforts at Doha and Lingfield. Archie Watson's charge is 5lb clear of his closest rival on ratings and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark for the campaign. Irish 2,000 Guineas third Imperial Fighter has not been seen in action since struggling in the Prix du Jockey Club, but remains one with potential as a four-year-old. The unbeaten Poker Face is another to note, along with Brunch, who has run well here before.

Having passed each of his 3 tests with flying colours so far, POKER FACE deserves a short at listed company, and with the ceiling of his ability yet to be ascertained, he's selected to remain unbeaten. Tempus was second in this a year ago and is just about the one to beat at the weights, with Tacarib Bay completing the shortlist given he has the benefit of a recent run under his belt.

Leading form contender Tempus hasn't been at his best the last twice and preference is for the unbeaten POKER FACE.

This can go the way of ROOST, who shaped with plenty of promise on both starts last season and should be well suited by going up in trip. The son of Sea The Moon may have too much for Ribal, who ran with plenty of credit at Newmarket when last in action. Astrodome is a Sea The Stars colt out of impeccably-bred Musidora winner So Mi Dar and is one of two really interesting newcomers for the Gosdens, with the other being Carlton, a 350,000-euro son of Frankel.

John Gosden provides two well-bred newcomers and it might well be worth chancing CARLTON to make a winning start. Astrodome is from a tremendous family and any market support would be significant so far as he's concerned, while Ribal looks the best of those with experience.

The vote goes to RIBAL from a yard with a fine recent record in this race. Roost is feared and the newcomers much respected.

MRS MEADER ended last year by making it three victories from her last four starts with a career-best performance at Newbury in October. The drop back from 1m4f isn't likely to be an inconvenience and she is taken to handle a 5lb rise from the handicapper. Glory And Honour sports a first-time visor and is respected following a recent spin over hurdles at this track, while Aldbourne could have further progress to come, having struggled under a penalty here when last seen.

While she admittedly has a bit to prove, IVY AVENUE is on a good mark judged on her peak Irish form and could be worth chancing starting out for the shrewd Michael Appleby yard here, particularly if the market speaks in her favour. Mrs Meader and Aldbourne both improved last season and the former, who won 3 of her final 4 starts of the 2022 campaign, is feared most.

Glory And Honour is respected but preference is for ALDBOURNE who has conditions to suit on his return to action.

HIGHLIGHTER is open to a fair amount of improvement on his handicap debut and stepping back up in distance, with the booking of Billy Loughnane enhancing his claims further. Kalahari Prince can be forgiven his final effort last season as it came over a distance too far at Southwell. He is better judged on his Redcar success the time before and is capable of a decent showing. Others to note include Simulation Theory and Aone Ally.

AONE ALLY and handicap-debutant Highlighter both have low mileage and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter has clearly been brought along with handicaps very much in mind and is not passed over lightly, but Aone Ally went close over this C&D on his latest start in this sphere and, while that was back in October 2021, he shaped as though plenty of ability remains when third over hurdles in February. Das Kapital and Peripeteia are each-way contenders.

The suggestion is AONE ALLY who shaped quite well in a hurdle on his return to action and was second over C&D on his latest Flat start.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
