MAN AMONGST MEN is rated 84 and should be opening his account in this company. Brian Meehan's colt went close in a better class maiden race at Kempton three weeks ago and will likely start a short-price. Today's opposition have yet to show any worthwhile form with perhaps Ragged Robbin and Royal Reserve the best of them. Wunderkind and Trillian Astra make no appeal on what little they've shown to date so it would be no surprise to see the newcomer Tower Power get involved.
