UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

KINGSHOLM is a half-brother to the Group-placed juvenile Fixette and he displayed enough promise at a breeze-up sale earlier in the year for connections to part with 185,000gns. The son of Tagula has joined a yard who do very well with their juveniles and he can make a winning debut. Homespin is the pick of those with previous experience, while Hubert and One Step Beyond are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Kingsholm 2nd Homespin 3rd Hubert

SEXTANT did not appear to handle the track when a beaten favourite at Epsom last time and he can be given another chance based on his impressive Ascot victory previous to that. Big Kitten could go well if transferring his recent all-weather form to turf, while Speed Company edges out Banditry to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sextant 2nd Big Kitten 3rd Speed Company

KHAFOOQ hit the crossbar in a novice race at Bath two weeks ago and the son of Kodiac won't find many better opportunities than this to get off the mark. Kodiak Attack has displayed promise in both previous starts and he could pose the biggest threat. That said, Great Suspense is entitled to improve for his debut run over 6f here and he could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Khafooq 2nd Kodiak Attack 3rd Great Suspense

MATTERHORN ran much better in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot than the bare result suggests and providing this doesn't come too soon after those exertions, he should make the most of the drop in class. Oh This Is Us has been knocking on the door, both at this level and in Group 3 company, and he looks sure to be in the shake-up again, while New Graduate, unfavourably drawn and not suited by soft ground when sent off joint-favourite for the Royal Hunt Cup, cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Matterhorn 2nd Oh This Is Us 3rd New Graduate

Lady Kermit looked a serious early type when scoring at both Kempton and Newcastle before finishing third at York and fourth in France (both Listed races). Last Surprise was deemed good enough to participate in the Albany at Royal Ascot last week following her debut Lingfield success. However, a chance is taken on HAND ON MY HEART, who is a half-sister to Group 2 winner Heartache and has presumably been impressing at home.
Prediction : 1st Hand On My Heart 2nd Last Surprise 3rd Lady Kermit

BLESS HIM doesn't have too many miles on the clock for a five-year-old and showed that he retains plenty of his old ability when fourth at Chelmsford earlier this month. David Simcock's charge won the Britannia at Royal Ascot a couple of years ago off a mark of 90 and is only 3lb higher than that here. Spirit Warning has won three of his last six (albeit all on the all-weather) and is noted, while War Glory finished three and a half lengths ahead of the selection recently and wasn't disgraced in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot 10 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Bless Him 2nd War Glory 3rd Spirit Warning

HEATHERDOWN stuck on well on his first try over 1m2f back in April and could take another step forward now upped further in trip. A mark of 60 should be one that he can strike off, and a big run looks to be on the cards. Champagne Terri scored on these shores at Carlisle in May before finishing fifth in a deeper event at Cork 15 days ago, while Mi Manchi looks to be slowly getting the hang of things after a solid fourth-placed effort at Yarmouth.
Prediction : 1st Heatherdown 2nd Champagne Terri 3rd Mi Manchi
