Chester Race 6 - TMT Group Maiden Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
TORNADO TOWER (7) is a full-brother to the high class Hurricane Lane. Made a satisfactory debut when second at Nottingham four weeks ago. Could prove capable of a big step forward on this second start despite the wide draw. Increasing the journey is sure to suit ARABIAN DESERT (2) who is a son of Frankel. Was too keen at Pontefract last month. One to take very seriously. ALFARAZ (1) ran in what looks to be an above average contest at Newbury three weeks ago when only 1.25L sixth. Respect racing from stall one. EL NAY (3) steps right up in trip which looks sure to benefit him and warrants a market check.
