UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

The step up in trip and switch to handicap company worked for oracle for GOLD ARCH as he got off the mark in good style over 1m4f at Wolverhampton latest, form which has been boosted by the second and fourth scoring subsequently. David Lanigan's lightly-raced three-year-old looks up to defying a 5lb rise on his turf return with further progress expected. Hen was two and a quarter lengths behind the selection in third that day but is 4lb better off now and warrants respect, although a bigger threat may be Junior Rip. He improved for a move up to 1m4f at Dunstall Park latest and also has scope for further progress.
Prediction : 1st Gold Arch 2nd Junior Rip 3rd Hen

GOLDEN HORDE had the reopposing Indian Creak (eighth) and Gypsy Rocker (11th) behind when a promising fourth in a 6f Newbury maiden first time out and he can put that experience to good use in a field of mainly newcomers. The pick of the debutants may be Eton College, whose in-form yard have a good record with juveniles here, and Hexagon, who cost 75,000gns and is Roger Charlton's first two-year-old runner of the year.
Prediction : 1st Golden Horde 2nd Eton College 3rd Hexagon

NIGHT SECRET and Sirius Slew are joint-highest rated in this classified stakes and look like the ones to concentrate on. The latter returned with a good second in a handicap at Yarmouth but was a little disappointing in a maiden at that venue latest and preference is for William Haggas' charge, who showed good promise in three outings as a juvenile. The Doncaster maiden he finished second in last November has worked out very well and he should have more to offer this year. Champion Brogie rates best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Night Secret 2nd Sirius Slew 3rd Champion Brogie

This shouldn't take much winning and looks a good opportunity for RICOCHET to get off the mark, having shown ability with two near-misses at Kempton in December and returns for a yard among the winners of late. Meghan Sparkle's debut at Kempton in the winter wasn't devoid of promise and Clive Cox's filly must be feared with that experience under her belt. Gambon blew away the cobwebs at Salisbury in late April and should have more to offer now.
Prediction : 1st Ricochet 2nd Meghan Sparkle 3rd Gambon

NAUGHTY RASCAL drops in class and in the handicap after returning with a couple of fair efforts in class 2 handicaps at Newmarket and he should be cherry-ripe now. Richard Hannon's colt just earns the vote over Dark Shadow and Shining, both of whom won last time out but have gone up 4lb as a result and have no margin for error.
Prediction : 1st Naughty Rascal 2nd Shining 3rd Dark Shadow

Wind In My Sails returned from 11 months off to spring a 33/1 surprise at Newbury last month and looks capable of defying a 5lb rise in this company if in the same form. However, his profile suggests a repeat performance no guarantee and preference is for MR TYRRELL, who ran out a facile winner over this trip at Bath off 5lb lower before tackling 7f at Newmarket latest and could bounce back to form now returned to 1m. Medieval also has strong claims on his penultimate effort, a good third in a 20-runner Ascot handicap off a 1lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Mr Tyrrell 2nd Medieval 3rd Wind In My Sails

Charlie Hills has his string in fine form and could add to his tally here courtesy of VICTORY CHIME, who showed the benefit of his seasonal debut when scoring over this trip at Leicester last week and is turned out again quickly under a 5lb penalty with scope for further progress. Regular Income wasn't disgraced when bidding for a hat-trick in a class 2 at Epsom on Friday and is a big threat in his current mood. Lawn Ranger, a C&D winner who has been in good heart on the all-weather, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Victory Chime 2nd Regular Income 3rd Lawn Ranger
