IT’S the start of the turf flat season with the Lincoln Handicap as always the mainstay on the Town Moor Doncaster card and I am going to take a chance on London Protocol (nap) causing a huge upset for local trainer Karl Burke.

The five-year-old hasn’t cut much ice at Meydan this winter with two heavy defeats off a mark of 100.

A 1lb drop in the weights is hardly anything to shout about here, but a repeat of his winning performance in a Chantilly handicap last autumn or in a subsequent run in a hot handicap at Leicester would make him more than just a sitting duck outsider here.
