Nap of the Day: 7/2 shot is my Premier interest on Tuesday

Nap of the day with owen mcmahon

It was a strong end to last week for Nap of the Day followers and I'm hoping to continue in the same vein over the coming days.

On Tuesday, I'm drawn to Warwick for a juvenile hurdle over the minimum trip that I suspect the market has got wrong.

Due to the success of Burdett Road and East India Dock in recent years, three-year-old hurdlers trained by James Owen for The Gredley Family can be underpriced and overbet.

I think that's true for Stardrop ahead of this two-mile maiden at Warwick on Tuesday.

The son of Ulysees reached a rating of 80 on the flat after just six starts, before embarking on a career over jumps that's so far consisted of runs at Market Rasen and Stratford.

He was no match for the useful Lord - since sold for £70k - in Lincolnshire before a bitterly-disappointing defeat at 2/11f in Warwickshire.

The half-brother to six-time Group 1 winner Inspiral, a Royal Ascot and Breeders' Cup heroine, raced far too keenly the last day, which has been the case throughout his career.

Even the great Sean Bowen couldn't settle him - and I'm struggling to see a reason as to why he'll suddenly mature out of the blue. The tongue tie, in addition to the hood he's always worn, is unlikely to have much of an impact given it wasn't successful on the level.

I'm keen to oppose him on Tuesday - and it's PREMIER who can take advantage.

Warren Greatrex's son of Dariyan mightn't have been as smart on the flat as the aforementioned Stardrop, but he was a lot more consistent.

His hurdling debut at Kempton last month is relatively strong form. He bumped into Harry Derham's 1/6 favourite One Horse Town, unbeaten after bolting up in a couple of races at Hexham and Stratford by a combined 43 lengths, and it's hard to argue against the idea he would have finished a lot closer than the official 10-length margin if he wasn't almost wiped out by a faller at the second last.

Premier, who finished 19 lengths clear of the rest of the field, was making good headway until that point and it would've been nice to see how he'd have shaped up against the winner.

With that run under his belt and a bit of luck in running, I fancy him to have the beating of the current market leader.

Archie Watson's Scarlet Moon and Gary & Josh Moore's Love You Back, and to a lesser extent Westlain and Ice Jet for Jack Jones and Dan Skelton respectively, have their chance too, but Premier is the number one for me.
