Five-Year-Old To Fight Off Challengers On Home Soil
Consistent Type Ready To Get His Head In Front With Conditions To Suit
The nearest racecourse to Glasgow is Hamilton and it seems appropriate that THEGLASGOWWARRIOR attempts to resume winning ways there today. He does seem to have an affiniity for the course with his runs there producing the following figures:4,1,1 and 2. His last run was just four days ago – usually a sign of trainer intent – when he ran second at Mussleburgh to Bayshore Freeway who was following up a runner-up spot and a win. Maybe Today was back in fourth and that horse had won and been placed in his two previous outings and had travelled from Newmarket, so the form definitely stands up.Theglasgowwarrior ran off a mark of 89 there and retains that today, but good apprentice Ben Robinson, with 79 wins from 790 mounts, takes 3lbs off, which can make the difference. MORNING WONDER is well rated on BTO and his trainer Kevin Ryan is 22% at the course, whilst SEAFARER ran well at Bath after a two months break, but at 4/1 in an eight horse field the selection is edging to an each-way bet to nothing.
