Nap of the Day: In-form team to triumph again on Tuesday

I'm back on Nap of the Day duty after a week off, and it feels like there's been plenty of change. The Jumps season is kicking into gear, with stable tours galore and some big names returning to the track. Cheltenham stages its opening meeting of the campaign. Manchester United are good again. Ish. Liverpool not so much. My heart bleeds.

Anyway, my selection on Tuesday comes from the sole National Hunt offering at Ffos Las, as I put my faith in a team in red-hot form.

As per usual, the Twiston-Davies family have made a strong start to the Jumps season.

Father-and-son Nigel and Willy boast a 22% strike rate over the past fortnight, courtesy of seven winners from 32 runners. Six of those losers have finished runner-up, too.

The team sends a couple to Ffos Las on Tuesday, including ROSSCAHILL for a handicap chase over 3m1½f.

The six-year-old son of Malinas, owned by the 'El Rincon' syndicate including football's greatest-ever manager Sir Alex Ferguson, fetched £70k at the sales in December 2023, following an impressive point-to-point victory in Ireland.

He was sent straight over hurdles, albeit just under a year later, after joining connections at Grange Hill Farm, winning a maiden hurdle here at Ffos Las by four-and-a-half lengths.

That form has worked out too, despite the fact the selection was sent off 4/11f. Andy Amo, who finished second, won two of his subsequent four starts, including a narrow defeat in a Listed handicap off a mark of 117 at Fairyhouse this spring. He was 14 lengths ahead of the rest of the field.

Exactly 66 days later, Rosscahill returned to west Wales for a novice event over 2m4f and, under a penalty, maintained his unbeaten record by beating Ben Solo (116) by a couple of lengths.

The selection disappointed on his third visit to Ffos Las, for his handicap debut off an opening mark of 120. It was his first attempt over three miles, however, in a race involving omitted hurdles - and perhaps the subsequent layoff indicates something was physically wrong with the horse. So it's easy to forgive as far as I'm concerned.

I think he's a lot better than he showed that day, and who knows how much he's improved over the summer. He ought to be a lot stronger, both physically and mentally.

If that's the case, he can leave his mark well behind this season - and this looks a good opportunity to get the ball rolling.

P.S - don't be concerned by his leg action. It's not pretty, but that's just how he is. I Am Maximus won a Grand National with a similar one!
