Lincoln double under consideration for Chazzesmee

Chazzesmee could attempt an audacious Lincoln double after landing the Irish version today in the Curragh.
Trainer Fozzy Stack has left the six-year-old gelding in the British edition at Doncaster on Saturday for which Paddy Power halved him from 20/1 to 10/1.
Punters came from him this morning and he went off 3/1 favourite for this 19-runner contest worth €100,000.
From mid-division a quarter of a mile out, he made headway for Joey Sheridan to move into third at the furlong pole.
Once he led inside the final furlong, nothing was getting to him as he powered home by a length. Smooth Tom put in a solid shift for second at 12/1. Joint top-weight Raadobarg was a head away in third at 9/2 and he was two lengths clear of Casanova (25/1).
Stack said: “He did it well off a lay-off. We’ll see how he is during the week and he’s in the English Lincoln on Saturday. A 5lb penalty would get him into it.
“He’s never been short of ability, and we ironed out a few kinks in him.
“We brought him over to Saratoga last year and he got a stone bruise and couldn’t run on the day. Then when he was coming back he got stuck in some airport in Holland or Belgium for four days as a vet was giving out about some paperwork.
“We just ran out of time to run him.
“He broke his pelvis in Dundalk as a three-year-old, so that’s why he was off for a year.”
