On a break
tough day ...might have a go on Nampour in the big un...then feet up
Jim Old sends out Round The Horn in the Beginner's Chase at Chepstow.
I admit to having a mild fixation with this horse; history of leg trouble (him not me) and very lightly raced, but might well have been really top class. Old thinks he's the best he's ever had and when fit he's produced some eye catching form over hurdles.
Looks a chaser all over and the fact that the (admittedly somewhat eccentric) trainer is sending him fencing at 12 says to me that he just wants to show what he might have been capable of. 3m in heavy ground here should suit him ideally
.
In spite of the presence of the Nicholls horse, could see this winning with his head in his chest.
