HADRON COLLIDER is the call in a tough opener with Bon Spiel and Theologist others to enter the reckoning. A useful enough stayer on the flat for Richard Hannon under these conditions; there is an issue in relation to absence from the track but Charlie Mann is more than capable of having them ready first time out. Bon Spiel held no chance in the Winter Derby but on the positive, he should be fit enough to give a bold acccount. Theologist catches the eye from Richard Newland. The yard had a winner at Aintree and off the figures, she has an obvious chance. Hellfire Club has demonstrated ability at Kempton on good ground so cannot be dismissed. Call It On has disappointed somewhat in two novice events but may be better suited by today's conditions. Hadron Collider can be in the shake up this race.
