What gives the debut genuine interest is the yard sending it out. Richard Hannon, operating from Herridge in Wiltshire, has been one of the busiest and most productive trainers in Britain this season — 115 winners already, which is the kind of number that puts you among the very best in the country. A stable running at that volume does not send horses to the track without reason, and Hannon has a long track record of knowing exactly when a young horse is ready to run. When a first-time runner comes out of that operation, it is worth paying attention.
There is simply nothing else to say about Magi Melchior's racecourse record, because there isn't one yet. Everything starts here.
