In depth
Verdict
Richard Hannon saddles the only runners to have set foot on a racecourse before Litewska and Man Eater), and both should have learned something from their respective debut efforts. Judged on those performances though it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if one of the newcomers was up to the task and certainly Mick Channon's Aries is bred for the job. A relatively expensive purchase Aries is reported to shown plenty of ability at home and can make a winning bow. Any money for Brian Meehan's If I Can Dream would be worthy of note.
