Linas can complete four-timer

LINAS SELECTION has an excellent chance of completing a four-timer by winning the BGC Stakes at Glorious Goodwood today.

Put away for the winter after losing his maiden tag over nine furlongs at Epsom last September, Mark Johnston’s son of top-class miler Selkirk and Grade Three American winner Lines Of Beauty has improved in every race this year.

He would have already completed a four-timer but for finding subsequent Chester Vase and King Edward VII Stakes winner Papal Bull too strong for him on his seasonal reappearance.
