Taqleed, a 10/1 chance when betting opened, is now 4/1 favourite with Coral to win the the flat season curtain-raiser, Saturday’s Lincoln Handicap.
Prime Exhibit is 9/1 second favourite, ahead of Irish Heartbeat and Gunner Lindley, both 10/1.
“Punters have enjoyed the upper hand at both the recent Cheltenham Festival and last weekend’s Dubai World Cup meeting, and a win for Taqleed on Saturday would be another costly result for the bookies, said Coral’s David Stevens.
Elsewhere, Roderic O’Connor has been the subject of support for the 2,000 Guineas, and is now 8/1 (from 10/1) for the colts’ Classic, while Chicago Grey heads the betting for the Coral Scottish Grand National at 6/1.
