Verdict
The selection is Lindbergh trained by Richard Hannon.This gelding finished a good fourth of thiteen,beaten just three lengths by Fantasiste here on the 2nd April and also ran a good third to Silver Dane on the23rd of last month The dangers appear to be Golden Dixie,ridden by Adrian McCarthy,whose close second of ten just a head behind Silver Dane was a good effort and this 7 year old must enter calculations. Financial Times,an ex Godolphin gelding,now with Stef Liddiard did very well on his first appearance for nearly two years when winning at Lingfield in March and may improve. However the choice here is Lindbergh to get his head in front.
