WILLIAM Haggas held the key to the Irish Lincoln last weekend – his sole representative Lattam delivered with Tag Heuer precision by Chris Hayes to get up and win by a short-head - and he could hold the key to the Pertemps Network Lincoln at Doncaster today.

He doesn’t make it easy this time, mind you, fielding two in a race that he has won four times, most recently with Addeybb in 2018, to take him level in the Lincoln record books with Jack Robinson, whose four Lincoln wins straddled the 19th and 20th centuries. If one of the William Haggas horses wins today, the trainer will be out on his own with five.
