    Trainers
    John Quinn (2-1-8) trained the winner in 2006 & 2013.
    Richard Fahey (1-7-24) trained the winner in 2012 and saddled 2 placed finishers in 2013.

    Trainers who have not had much luck in this are Kevin Ryan (0-0-11), Dandy Nicholls (0-0-11), Tim Easterby (0-0-5) and Richard Hannon (0-0-4) have failed to saddle a single placed finisher from 31 combined runners.

    Draw (last 10 runnings at Doncaster 2002-2013)
    horses drawn 1 to 7: 4-13-70
    horses drawn 8 to 14: 4-9-70
    horses drawn 15 or higher: 2-8-83
    No strong trends on the draw, though the last 3 runnings at Doncaster and ground described as soft were all won by horses drawn in stalls 1 to 3. The Spring Mile, which takes place earlier on the Lincoln card, can often give pointers as where best to be drawn.

    Price
    No strong trends on prices, 5 of the last 10 runnings have gone to horses in the first 5 while the other 5 winners (including last
    Favourites (3-0-11) have won 3 of the last runnings, giving a level stakes profit of 4.33.
