David Massey has been banging in the winners this week and he has a bet at Wincanton this afternoon.
3:23 Wincanton
The 4-y-o’s get a useful 8lb allowance over fences at present, and there are three here to take the eye. Torneo is favourite and looks well treated on hurdles form but is a relative pony and didn’t jump very well when making his chase debut at Uttoxeter. He looks opposable, and of much more interest is the strapping KARAKTERE D'ENFER, who caught the stewards’ eye on his return, and shaped well until lacking the speed to go with the leaders over hurdles here last time.
Karakter d’Enfer looks a chaser, and while lacking pace over the smaller obstacles, he’s expected to do much better now tackling fences and looks seriously overpriced at 10/1 for a yard in fair form at present.
Ormolulu was well supported to make a winning debut for new trainer Gemma Tutty here on Monday night, and after a better getaway from the stalls that has sometimes been the case, she was in a nice position going into the first bend but lost ground and momentum when clipping heels with favourite HK Fourteen as that rival was himself taken back to avoid scrimmaging caused when a couple of others cut across from the outside. Ormolulu recovered quickly enough but she ended up in a disadvantageous position as the race began in earnest, and did well to weave through to finish a close third, giving every indication that there was a bit left in the tank.
This quick reappearance asks a new question of her, but assuming all is well, she must hold a very good chance of gaining compensation for all she’s going up in class here having contested a 0-65 last time. The booking of Rossa Ryan very much takes the eye and certainly offsets any concern about the draw.
She was going to be a bet but we've been Hugh Taylor-ed, so we'll leave the 11/4 and back her if she drifts out again later on so keep an eye.
