Expresso Hot

John Gosden's Expresso Star continues to attract money at the head of the market for Saturday' William Hill Lincon.
Johnny G does not usually target the seasonal curtain-raiser but Expresso Star has been well-fancied in the build up and the sponsors have been forced to clip him half a point to 4-1 following another day of support.
Gosden has only had three previous runners in the Lincon with his Wainwright faring best of the trainer's challengers in finishing third in 1994.
Another to have come in for support is Luca Cumani's first ever runner in the race Swop and he is now 9-1 from 10s despite having to shoulder a 5lb penalty for a win in Dubai last month.
With the field limited to just 22 there are plenty more of the fancied runners who could strggle to make the cut
Stuart Williams paid 85,000 guineas at the October Horses in Training Sale for Slugger O'Toole but despite a rating of 94 he is not guaranteed a run.
The William Hill spring Mile is available as a consolation to some of those who miss the cut and Williams would be keen to tackle either contest.
George Baker has his eyes firmly fixed on the first race of the new Flat season on turf, the williamhill.com Play Poker Brockles Conditions Stakes with Chicita Banana.
