In-form Meehan reaps Salisbury reward

BRIAN MEEHAN has his team brimming with good health ahead of Royal Ascot and the Manton trainer had more to celebrate when Sans Reward landed the George Smith Horseboxes Maiden Auction Stakes at Salisbury yesterday.

David Junior in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes is the horse Meehan is most looking forward to next week, but he will also send out a handful of two-year-olds with chances, although Sans Reward will not be one of them.

Backed down to 13-8 favourite, she was eased across to the far rail by Steve Drowne and was fortunate that a gap appeared in time for her to catch Farefield Lodge and score by a neck.
