Storm The Dug silk
Storm The Dug
Selected at: 9/1

Storm The Dug has shown very small signs of improvement with each start so far and his most recent effort in a Musselburgh maiden hurdle was respectable. Handicaps are likely to facilitate a significant amount of improvement and he should be much more more competitive here.
