Adiemus gets Lincoln run

Adiemus, ante-post favourite for Saturday`s randombet.com Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster, has made it into the line-up for the race.

Jeremy Noseda`s charge needed four horses to drop out at the final declaration stage to get a run in the one-mile contest.

The four-year-old scrapes in right at the bottom of the field and will carry a 5lb penalty on Saturday, which puts him on 8st 5lb for the race.

David Elsworth`s runner Smirk was set to carry top weight but he was declared a non-runner on Wednesday so last year`s winner Nimello now heads the weights with 9st 10lb.

There are no other unexpected absentees from the 24-strong field which also includes recent Wolverhampton winner and fancied runner Dayglow Dancer.

The Judge, trained by Paul Cole, was a 12-1 shot for the big race with some bookmakers but he has failed to make the final cut and is possible favourite for tomorrow`s consolation race, the randombet.com Spring Mile.
