With Richard Hannon's juveniles in such fine form, Big Audio is taken to get the better of Aattash and Imperial Warrior. Imperial Warrior is a half brother to several sprint winners including the talented Wyatt Earp and looks bred for the job. Hughie Morrison's yard has turned out four recent winners at a favourable strike rate, though we have only seen one of his two-year-olds to date, and that was unplaced. The market should be heeded for stable confidence. The same should be said of Mick Channon's Aattash, who hails from another yard who know the time of day with their juveniles. With nine winners from the yard, they know the time of day with their youngsters, and he is also a half brother to a winning sprinter. However, his sire's best performances came over a mile so he may need a little further to be seen at his best. Another expensive purchase at over 80,000 guineas, Big Audio comes from a winning sprint family, and the fact that Richard Hughes rides this one in preference to Footstepsofspring looks significant. Big Audio can overpower his rivals.
