Tall Trees

Trained by Brian Meehan at Manton in Wiltshire, Tall Trees is part of a yard that has sent out 12 winners already this season. The Sandown Park success is a significant moment for a horse still learning the game. Young racehorses often need multiple attempts before they break their duck, so a win at five starts is not unusual — but the quality of those placings hints that Tall Trees belongs in decent company. The fact that the horse won at Sandown Park and raced there again suggests the track suits it, something to monitor in future races. With only one win from five races, there is clearly plenty of room for improvement, but the recent victory shows Tall Trees has what it takes to get the job done when everything clicks into place.
