Richard Quinn secured his second Worthington Lincoln in the last three runnings of the race at Doncaster on Saturday and insisted it was no problem on awkward customer Right Wing.

The jockey, tipped to be a major challenger to champion Kieren Fallon this season, produced a masterful effort to pop Right Wing into the lead in the final 100 yards of the Flat turf season's big curtain-raiser.

The result was a bonanza for punters who forced the winner down to 9-2 favourite after he had opened up on the course at 9-1. Captain Scott, sent off 6-1 after also attracting hefty support, was a gallant second with Night of Glass third and Raheen fourth.

The supporters of Captain Scott must have been counting their winnings as he forged clear from the furlong pole.

But seconds later their hopes were dashed as Right Wing swept by before going on to score by half a length.

Right Wing was making amends after finishing a close third in the one-mile handicap 12 months ago.

Winning trainer John Dunlop is in Dubai and he left his assistant Robert Hamilton to supervise things.

Hamilton said: "Richard has given the horse a terrific ride - he's produced him at just the right time.

"Richard has great confidence because the horse is far from straightforward, although he is talented.

"Right Wing's price was far too short for a dodgy so-and-so like him - 16-1 would have been much more like it.

"Maybe Right Wing is a stronger horse than he was last year and you'll see him in all the big handicaps."
