Mitraad is to miss the Betway Lincoln as his trainer William Haggas feels he is not quite ready to do himself justice on his seasonal reappearance.
The five-year-old was a best-priced 9-1 second favourite for the first big handicap of the Flat turf season at Doncaster on Saturday despite having had just three races.
"I don't think he's quite ready to win. I'll just give him a bit more time," said Haggas.
"We'll see how he goes, but he's not far off ."
The Newmarket trainer reports his other Lincoln entry Predominance to be on course for Doncaster.
He is set to run in the consolation race, the Betway Spring Mile, on the same card as he does not look like making the cut for the big one.
"He's going for the consolation race. He seems to be in great form," said Haggas.
