PUNTERS looking for clues to the always ultra competitive William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster today paid a keen eye to the consolation race the William Hill Spring Mile at the South Yorkshire track yesterday.

And with the first four home drawn low, the strongly fancied Shinerolla and Beauchamp Jazz, drawn in one and two respectively, will no doubt be of interest to backers in the early dealings today.

However, Billy Bushwacker, who is drawn 20, is fancied to cause the first big upset of the flat season. He has Mary Reveley's skill at preparing horses for this fixture, an ability to act on the ground and solid mile handicap form in top flight company last season.

The five year old followed up an impressive win at this track last May with a fourth in the Hunt Cup and rounded off his campaign with a fine fourth, two lengths behind Tarawa at Newmarket.

Despite those fine efforts, Mary Reveley's gelding still looks well handicapped. Expect to see him come late and fast up the stands' rails. Sharp Prospect looks the one for the forecast off a tempting weight.

Carranita landed a Listed contest at Doncaster at the end of last season when beating Branston Abby by a length and three quarters.

Now a six year old, she should still be open to a little improvement especially as a lot of the field in opposition here, look unsuited Ron Hodges' yard reportedly fancy the chances of Hard To Figure here, but his weight and advancing years look like anchoring him here in the Cammidge Trophy.
