Charlie Appleby has rather bigger fish to fry at Meydan this afternoon but will be expecting a big run from Hills And Dales here though the son of Acclamation has only shown moderate form, very little of which has been boosted. Beat Goes On and Tarleton both made satisfactory debuts in the same event here last month with the former just coming out best. They are nicely-bred types who will improve and either could take this, though the latter's yard is also represented by the newcomer VAN WILDER. His dam has produced an astonishing nine winners from her first 11 foals including the very useful sprinter Beauty Is Truth and he gets the vote to keep up the family tradition.
