UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

FURLONG FACTOR shaped encouragingly on her racecourse debut at Chelmsford last week, running well from the front for a long way before fading into third. The experience gained that day is unlikely to have been lost on Rod Millman's charge, who is taken to strike second time out. Boot Scootin Baby and Northbound are similarly expected to come on for their debut outings, while any money for newcomers Go Greta or One Day would be worth heeding.
Prediction : 1st Furlong Factor 2nd One Day 3rd Boot Scootin Baby

ZAMAANI shaped encouragingly in a 5f novice race on debut at Newmarket 12 days ago and is entitled to improve for this additional furlong to take a forward step. Golden Bear, who turned in a creditable display when fourth over this trip on debut at Kempton two weeks ago, is expected to show up well too, while Archie Watson has made a fine start to the season and his Zaisan is worth a market check first time out. My Next Guest and Twaasol are other newcomers to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Zamaani 2nd Zaisan 3rd Golden Bear

BONUS left behind his juvenile form when exploiting an opening mark of 55 on his handicap debut at Yarmouth last week. Now turned out under a penalty for that comfortable success, and with the benefit of a recent run to his name, Jim Boyle's charge could prove popular from a good draw. Hot Hot Hot, Harbour Point and Ivadream have place possibilities, while, of the handicap debutants, Gherkin and Sacred Legacy are potential improvers to consider.
Prediction : 1st Bonus 2nd Gherkin 3rd Ivadream

TRUE BELIEF was running well off similar marks over 7f in the spring and is of interest now reverting to 6f, given he's a C&D winner. With the form Tom Clover's string are currently in, Daring Guest is worth a market check this afternoon, for all he needs to leave behind a wayward effort on his last start at Wolverhampton in January if he's to figure. Successful at Kempton in February off 5lb lower, Englishman retains his appetite at the age of 10 and is expected to run another solid race for Milton Bradley.
Prediction : 1st True Belief 2nd Englishman 3rd Daring Guest

COUNT OTTO was touched off by a neck on his seasonal reappearance at Newmarket 12 days ago and although the assessor has nudged him up 2lb for finishing third, his match fitness could count for plenty here and he's taken to defy the rise. Junius Brutus makes some appeal on his distance second off 1lb lower in February and can fight it out with Chairmanoftheboard and Wedding Date, both of whom also have a recent run under their belt, for the minor honours. Ice Age is also worth a cursory market check as he continues to slide down the ratings.
Prediction : 1st Count Otto 2nd Junius Brutus 3rd Chairmanoftheboard

NARAK was defeated by less than a length over 7f at Yarmouth earlier this month and has been raised 2lb in the ratings. However, this extra furlong is expected to unlock further improvement from George Scott's four-year-old, who is also entitled to strip fitter for that comeback spin and she gets the nod. Mostawaa finished a neck second off 1lb lower on his penultimate outing at Kempton in the spring and can fight it out with penalised Yarmouth scorer Mythical Madness, who was having his first run since rejoining David O'Meara that day, for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Narak 2nd Mythical Madness 3rd Mostawaa

CRYSTAL CAROLE left behind all previous form when upped to this trip and switched to the all-weather for a new stable as he stayed on from well off the pace for a close second from out of the handicap at Lingfield in March. There could be more to come as that was on the back of a lengthy layoff and she is taken to go one better today. Glamorous Crescent flopped over 6f at Southwell last time but has leading claims on her form over 7f at Wolverhampton in December and should appreciate the step up to a mile. Valentine Mist made the frame over the extended 1m1f at that Midlands venue latest and contends on a repeat of that effort.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Carole 2nd Glamorous Crescent 3rd Valentine Mist

ROCKET ROD, a 160,000-euro purchase with a smart pedigree, made a pleasing debut when travelling well and only weakening into third late on over this trip at Newcastle 15 days ago and he is expected to take a step forward this evening. A bold bid looks likely from Hugo Palmer's inmate, although he concedes experience to Grinling and the latter is likely to appreciate this step up in distance. It would be no surprise to see Godolphin's Back From Dubai leave a moderate debut over 1m at Kempton in the autumn well behind.
Prediction : 1st Rocket Rod 2nd Grinling 3rd Back From Dubai
