From a shortlist that contains Rubies, Macaulay, Jubilee Dream, Fardi and Lindbergh, we will just side with Lindbergh. Having cost 135,000 guineas, Richard Hannon's Lindbergh catches the eye and is afforded plenty of respect, particularly if the betting speaks in his favour. Rubies' second to Dartalong last time reads pretty well in the context of this race and she is granted respect, while Roger Charlton's Macaulay showed plenty of promise on his sole start to date, on the all-weather. Jubilee Dream has to be respected from the David Elsworth yard, and Fardi looked as though he was progressing last time and could go well, while Aiguille has also shown enough to be given a chance in what looks like a modest maiden. Watch the betting with regard to the others, but we will side with Lindbergh.
