In depth
Verdict
Mick Channon certainly does not have too many runners in this sphere, so Sattelight may be worth chancing against Dreaming Away, with Vicky Bee the other to note. Sattelight, who is not surprisingly Flat-bred, shaped well enough when fourth on his Uttoxeter debut, and although the form may not amount to much, he could easily improve enough to take care of this company. Dreaming Away will be popular with the locals, having run green behind a Jonjo O'Neill hotpot on his introduction here. Vicky Bee looks to have a bright future based on two solid efforts at Worcester, and if she is over her recent exertions, can also go close under Tony McCoy. Any money for Olllie Carter's Gone Missing would be interesting as well, but we shall row in with Sattelight in the finale.
