Fernando Dando (IRE) B.G.

Fernando Dando produced a very encouraging debut effort when finishing second in a division of the four-year-old geldings’ maiden at Lingstown. Settled in mid-division early on, the son of Libertarian made good headway to dispute the lead before four out and briefly found himself in front approaching the home straight. Despite being unable to match the gears of the eventual winner on the run to the last, he kept on stoutly to finish a clear second, drawing six lengths clear of the third. Closely related to the eight-time track winner Moroder, he showed a likeable attitude on this initial outing and shaped like a gelding capable of progressing much further in time.
