Great words Charlie!

'The vote goes to TORNADO ALERT, who was off the track for over twelve months prior to finishing fourth in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin over 12f last month. They ought to four-year-old travelled well for much of the race, but a lack of race fitness appeared to take its toll inside the final furlong, and he faded into fourth, beaten just a length.

He was a bit keen in Germany, and the hope is that he is more amenable to restraint today. Some of the excellent tipsters in the Racing Post dismissed the effects of the draw in a recent article, which is complete and utter bollocks.'
