Westlin´ Winds looking to surprise his rivals in Advent Handicap Hurdle
Westlin´ Winds will be looking to cause an upset in the Advent Handicap Hurdle at Leicester in England on Wednesday, December 12, 2012. He has got plenty of experience in this format and has been doing a respectable job for his team in recent times, which
will give him the confidence to shine in the class-3 competition.
A total of 11 runners have been attracted towards the race, scheduled to kick off at 15:10 GMT, and they will be combating for a cash prize of £4,549. They will have to display a solid stamina in order to run over 2 miles, 4 furlongs and 110 yards.
There has been some rain at Leicester over the past couple of days, which has affected the ground to some extent. However, things have improved a bit and the going has become good to soft at the moment. The organisers will be hoping that the situation remains
under control, so they can have some clean action.
The Mumper has managed to impress the bookies more than anyone else, as he seems to like running over hurdles. He does not have a lot of experience, but knows how to handle pressure in this form of racing.
He has been given a general starting price of 3 to 1 and the punters will definitely look to risk some money on him. He will not be worried about the track conditions, as he has always appeared in rain affected events.
Therefore, the Alan King’s trained gelding will be extremely comfortable, heading into the competition at Leicester. Moreover, he is carrying the winning momentum, which will make his confidence even better.
Overall, he has raced in a couple of races over hurdles, winning one of them whereas finished third in the other.
On the other hand, Westlin´ Winds has been in the sport for quite some time and has represented his team in 22 events in this format. He has managed to succeed on six times, which shows that he is quite capable of troubling his opponents.
He is also one of those runners, who do not mind running on a rain affected ground. Therefore, his trainer Barry Leavy will be expecting a positive result from him.
