Windsor Preview - 21/06/2021

Disappointing in Novice stakes last year, she’s landed back to back places in handicaps over 6f so far in 2021.

This is another relative step down in class and off the same mark as her second last time out with Buick booked to do the steering, she’s the stand out horse in the field.

Extremely well bred, he’s a full brother to multiple Group 1 winner BEST SOLUTION and he was an expensive recruit for James Ferguson.

His full brother got off the mark over this distance and with testing conditions forecasted, it would be no surprise to see him put in an eye-catching debut run here.

A likeable type, she made it back to back second when beaten at Catterick over 5f last time out.

Only upped 2lbs here and with Murphy booked to ride her she’s an interesting proposition in this field.

Just one of two horses with a win on their record, his sole victory to date came on similar ground to this when winning well at Bath last month.

He’ll be praying for the rain to continue and the more it does the harder he’ll likely be to beat here.

Without a win on her first nine starts all coming on the a/w, the switch to turf paid dividends when bolting up at Bath by nine lengths in May.

She backed that up in quite remarkable fashion on soft ground once again when winning by 10 lengths at Pontefract despite carrying a 6lbs penalty. Proved that the handicapper doesn’t quite have a grasp on her yet when a close second at Lingfield two weeks ago and now back on ground with plenty of give in it, another big performance is expected from her.

Disappointing on debut over 1m 2f at Ripon, the drop down to a mile suited the Harzand gelding much more and he was only beaten by a neck at Nottingham.

He had soft ground that day and gets similar here so that will be a huge positive. The obvious threat is Marrakech Moon but to return after a 252 lay off on ground like this may just be a little too much to ask of the horse.
