UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

RANIA got off the mark at the second time of asking when returning to Chepstow at the start of the month. She appeared to have further improvement to come and the booking of Ryan Moore has to be noted. Alone Time won at Bath having stepped forward from her first start and is respected along with Fairy Dust, who placed over C&D on her debut last month.
Prediction : 1st Rania 2nd Alone Time 3rd Fairy Dust

THEOTHERSIDE built on a solid return at Kempton when scoring for the second time in his career over C&D on handicap debut and Richard Hannon's filly appears capable of handling a 6lb rise from the assessor. Mountain Brave has been a consistent performer so far in her career and arrives on the back of a win at Leicester, while Second Collection and the class-dropping Dancing Feet are also feared.
Prediction : 1st Theotherside 2nd Mountain Brave 3rd Second Collection

ASCRAEUS wasn't suited by a wide draw at Chelmsford on her handicap bow earlier in the month and the daughter of Poet's Voice is worth another chance based on her maiden victory at Wolverhampton in June. Treaty Of Dingle has placed on her last couple of outings and can enter the reckoning along with Limelighter, a C&D winner on his penultimate start, and In The Red.
Prediction : 1st Ascraeus 2nd Treaty Of Dingle 3rd Limelighter

GRANDE RUMORE has gone close to winning on both of her starts to date and a repeat of the most recent of those efforts at Haydock would make her the one to side with. Arabic Charm was fourth in the aforementioned Haydock contest on her debut and she is entitled to step forward from that outing, while others to note include Endured, who finished runner-up on his debut at Kempton, and Sun Bear, who should be suited by the return to a mile.
Prediction : 1st Grande Rumore 2nd Arabic Charm 3rd Endured

KING'S KNIGHT wasn't disgraced when fifth on debut over C&D last month when showing signs of greenness and the son of Dark Angel will have benefited plenty from the experience gained. Kettle Hill is expected to come forward from his first start when fifth at Newmarket for a stable in excellent form at present, while Burke And Wills and Minori are both capable of improving from their respective debut efforts.
Prediction : 1st Kings Knight 2nd Kettle Hill 3rd Burke And Wills

YIMOU clearly benefited from his return at this course over 6f when dropping back in trip here earlier in the month and a 3lb rise is unlikely to stop the five-year-old from striking again. A Sure Welcome has acquitted himself well on both his outings at the track this season and won't be inconvenienced by the return to 5f, while Glamorous Anna and Free Love appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Yimou 2nd A Sure Welcome 3rd Glamorous Anna

A LA VOILE won a shade comfortably on her second outing at Bath earlier in the month and an opening handicap mark of 78 may just underestimate Sir Michael Stoute's filly. Hold Fast was thrown in at the deep end when finishing last in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, but she has to warrant respect dropping significantly in class. Rue De La Gaite ran on well to place on her UK debut at Kempton and is entitled to come on from that performance.
Prediction : 1st A La Voile 2nd Hold Fast 3rd Rue De La Gaite

STAR OF WINS took a decent step forward from his Newmarket seventh when a neck second at Bath earlier in the month. William Haggas' colt is bred to improve for the step up in distance and is likely to get better with more racing under his belt. Chai Yo Power is a stoutly-bred individual who shaped well on his racecourse bow when third at Lingfield. He has subsequently been gelded and is likely to improve plenty from that effort, while Arabian Romance, second on her first outing at Yarmouth, and Winter Thorn are others capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Wins 2nd Chai Yo Power 3rd Arabian Romance

Lady De Vega ran a really good race to overcome a slight stumble and losing her position early when scoring at Leicester last time and a mark of 59 could be generous, but VILLANELLE might be a safer option as she has already shown herself to be fairly well treated when second at Leicester on her return. Jonathan Portman's filly had Pearl Beach behind on that occasion and could land the killer blow here.
Prediction : 1st Villanelle 2nd Lady De Vega 3rd Pearl Beach
