Mr McCann will carry the colours of famous footballing connections as he bids for Group Two glory in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday. "It's obviously a big step up in grade but he deserves this opportunity, it was always the plan to run him over seven (furlongs)." Mr McCann will be partnered by Jane Elliott, who is based at Dascombe's Cheshire yard and will have a significant chance of a significant weekend winner. "I think it's a great opportunity for Jane as well, for her to have a big winner," Dascombe said. Appleby also runs Private Signal, with Tom Clover's Papa Cocktail and Mark Johnston's Austrian Theory also in action.
