Gaul Wood to go well in Scott Mills & Stooshe Live 07.09.2012 Handicap (London Mile Qualifier) at Kempton
Storm King was an impressive winner on his handicap debut at Kempton earlier this month. However, a 13lb rise in the weights would be enough to prevent him from putting up an equally good show in the Scott Mills & Stooshe Live 07.09.2012 Handicap (London
Mile Qualifier), to be held on Wednesday, August 29, 2012.
On the other hand, Gaul Wood looks ready for this step up in trip, and can present a fine show today. Trained by Tom Dascombe, the bay gelding made a wonderful start to this season, when sealing a comfortable win at Lingfield in January.
He maintained the standards at Chester, where he missed the first place only by a head’s distance in the Find A Forecast At ChesterBET Apprentice Handicap. Owned by Star Sports, the 3-year-old demonstrated another fascinating show at Royal Ascot, seizing
the runner-up place in the Mitie Total Security Management Handicap at the end of last month.
After three wonderful efforts, Gaul Wood suddenly lost his momentum, and showed a below par performance last time. The 9-4 favourite stayed on one pace in the final stages and as a result, finished sixth behind Rustic Deacon in the Slug And Lettuce O2 Arena
Handicap at Sandown.
It was just an unlucky day for Gaul Wood. He is more than capable of getting back to the winning ways within no time and since he is not facing a strong opposition, one can easily expect him to enthral today.
The 1-mile has attracted 10 entries. It carries a cash prize of £4,075, which will go alongside the winner. The punters need to make their moves quickly, because the action is about to commence. According to the current plan, the class 4 meeting will be
kicked off at 20:50 GMT.
Balady is another runner to keep an eye on. Her yard has started to turn the corner and therefore, she cannot be written off.
The real clash will be between Storm King and Gaul Wood. The former is expected to struggle with a significant rise in weights, thus the preference is for Gaul Wood. We wish the best of luck to all the runners.
