The Lincoln Lawyer pulled much too hard on his reappearance at Windsor and looked a difficult ride. His stable companion Snax ran well for a long way on his reappearance at Newmarket and begins in handicaps on a workable mark so should be winning soon. BRAEMAR just failed to concede 12lb to Altra Vita at Brighton, his fourth successive second place. However, he didn't get the run of the race despite it being a small field and compensation awaits. Emerald Rocket was receiving 13lb from Lucky Deal when beaten at Catterick.
