Hello all,
I wanted to see if doing a thread would improve my current form!! (not likely I know)
Anyway, racing from Taunton, Wolverhampton and Kempton Park.
Nap = Tornado In Milan, a horse who has shown greenness in his last two runs over hurdles and now drops down in trip on his handicap debut. He was a useful horse in bumpers, winning on his debut for the Evan Williams yard after his switch from Ireland. He then ran a good race under a penalty at Sedgefield (lost action according to Paul Maloney), before embarking on a hurdling career.
He started with a very good effort at Worcester in May, dictating the pace (which he has done on all three hurdle runs) before finding one too good in the Hobbs trained Reste Gosse. Interestingly Tornado In Milan looked very green in the race, running around at his hurdles and pulling quite hard, other traits that have been seen in his other runs over hurdles.
He then had a break before coming back at Chepstow in October, again showing a good deal of pace before failing to get home due to his early eagerness. He jumped fairly well that day and was given an easy time when the race was lost, and showed to me that he could be better than the bare result. Once again he looked green and pulled hard early in the race. He also ran very wide on one of the bends, losing a good amount of ground in the process.
Finally we got to see him back at Chepstow on heavy ground, another race in which he took a keen hold and ran around a bit at his hurdles. He travelled strongly when given his head and he just failed to get home on the heavy ground, fading late in the day to finish 5th beaten 12 lengths by Romford Pele (useful horse).
He now goes handicapping off a mark of 114, which I think is a very fair mark on his form and the drop in trip and experience from his first three hurdle races should stand him in good stead against a field that contains a few unexposed sorts and a few old timers.
9/2 Bet365 (4/1 offer race and also BOG)
