Richard Hannon fields a five-strong team in Saturday's Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury, a race his family have dominated down the years.

His now-retired father landed the spoils on seven occasions, most famously with Lyric Fantasy in 1992 before she went on claim the Nunthorpe in the same season.

The race favours cheaply-bought yearlings who exceed initial expectations as weight is allotted according to sales price, although Hannon struck at the first time of asking last year with top-weight Tiggy Wiggy.

His best chance this term appears to lie with Great Page, who is already a Listed winner in Ireland and ran in Group Three company last time out.

Stablemates Receding Waves, Racquet, Belvoir Bay and Mermaid also represent the champion trainer, although top-weight Phantom Flipper is reportedly sore and has been taken out of the race.

"Great Page looks the one with solid form," the trainer told www.richardhannonracing.co.uk.

"She was trying what we now know was an impossible task in giving weight to Illuminate (Group Two winner) at Salisbury, but she bounced back to win a Listed race at Naas and she was then not disgraced when fourth in a Group Three at the Curragh, where the first three slightly got away from us and she never really got a crack at them.

"She won at Windsor on fastish ground, so the conditions are not a worry and she missed the July meeting to wait for this.

"Receding Waves won't mind the ground either. He improved from Redcar to topple the hot favourite at Chepstow, so he is going the right way.

"Similarly, Belvoir Bay won in good style at Windsor and looks a filly who is on the way up, while Racquet, though disappointing when favourite at Salisbury last time, had earlier won well on the same track, so he, too, would be in with a chance of getting in the money."

Richard Fahey is even more strongly represented with eight, including Lathom, Mr Lupton, Powerallied, Sunnua and Force Awakens.

Clive Cox's Soapy Danger is one of the favourites h aving won his first two starts before finishing fourth in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot.

He disappointed in a Listed event at Sandown two weeks ago when only third as the 4-6 favourite, but Cox retains plenty of faith in his runner.

"Soapy Aitken has come out of Sandown well," he said.

"He's in good form. I just hope the ground doesn't dry out too much. That's my one concern. It's beautiful ground out there at the moment and hopefully that will be the case.

"I'm happy. Although he was a beaten favourite last time at Sandown, I think it was a very competitive race. To be beaten by a horse that was fourth in the Norfolk was no disgrace.

"He's well weighted, we've a good jockey booking (Paul Hanagan) and it's fingers crossed."

Karl Burke runs Moondyne Joe, winner of his only race at Carlisle, and while his handler expects him to be better over further than five furlongs, he is still anticipating a decent show.

"I have been very pleased with him since Carlisle. He has sharpened up for the run as many of ours do," said Burke.

"He will probably be better over six furlongs, but there are not too many options and we had him entered in this, so we thought we would take our chance.

"We were expecting him to run well at Carlisle. He got a fair bit behind but finished off well, although I don't think it was a great race.

"I think if he jumps a bit better than he did at Carlisle and gets into his stride, he will be doing all his best work at the end and should give a good account."

Tim Easterby runs three after Quick And Quirky was taken out on Friday morning, but he knows what it takes to win having struck three times with Flanders in 1998, Good Girl in 2001 and Body And Soul three years ago.

He is in no doubt that Excessable is the pick of his team, though.

"His form got a boost the other day at York when the horse who beat him at Beverley (Lydia's Place), won again and we were giving her lumps of weight," said Easterby

"This has been the plan with him since day one, so let's hope it comes off.

"Mininggold is a nice, big filly who shows plenty of speed. She might just lack a touch of class to win a race like this but she'll run well.

"Midnight Malibu won last time and could run into a place. They've all got bits of chances, but Excessable is the main one."

One of the likely outsiders is Joe Tuite's Field Of Vision, a maiden after four outings but placed on each occasion.

"I couldn't be happier with the horse now. We had a bit of a blip after his last run which held him a week or two, but we're ready to go," said Tuite.

"There's been a nice bit of rain at Newbury which will help him and we're hopeful of picking up a bit of prize money. There's a lot on offer and I'm sure he'll run an honest, true race."
