UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

RICHARD P SMITH will likely prove popular in the opener and it is easy to see why given he is holding his form well and comes in here on the back of a Yarmouth success, which his previous performances richly deserved. He ought to remain competitive under a 6lb penalty, but Fen Tiger lines up in receipt of plenty of weight from the selection and the Thirsk winner has been in good form himself. Eagle's Realm might reward each-way support.
Prediction : 1st Richard P Smith 2nd Fen Tiger 3rd Eagles Realm

Now that PROVERB has got his head in front, the Harry Angel colt is expected to go from strength to strength. Slowly into stride here on debut, he shaped with an abundance of promise when finishing second that day and bumped into an above-average type second time up at Yarmouth. He won as the market suggested at Hamilton last time and gave the impression there was a lot more to come. Radio Goo Goo and Desert Fighter are the dangers.
Prediction : 1st Proverb 2nd Radio Goo Goo 3rd Desert Fighter

ELLIE PIPER might still be ahead of the handicapper and is well worth sticking with for now following her determined Wolverhampton success last month. She's a versatile filly, given the daughter of Acclamation has won on both turf and the all-weather, and the gut feeling is that there could be more under the bonnet. Robyn Brisland does an excellent job with his select string and his filly can win again at the expense of C&D winner Coronation Cottage and three-year-old Lingfield scorer Sparked.
Prediction : 1st Ellie Piper 2nd Coronation Cottage 3rd Sparked

Recent winners Andaleep and Wisper will look to follow up carrying 5lb penalties for their C&D successes, but both will need a new career best off these marks and they may have to settle for a place. HE'S A LATCHICO also needs to take another step forward after landing his hat-trick at Lingfield over a mile and a half, but he may try to make all over this trip with Anna Gibson's 7lb claim giving him every chance to shrug off his new mark.
Prediction : 1st Hes A Latchico 2nd Wisper 3rd Andaleep

By Your Side looks interesting, but he has a 6lb penalty for winning at Musselburgh, and will need to find more off this mark. CHIPS AND RICE could come out on top returning to this trip after failing to see out a mile and a half at Kempton. Sporting first-time cheekpieces and with her jockey claiming 7lb, she could surprise them all. Una Notte may be one to watch on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Chips And Rice 2nd By Your Side 3rd Una Notte

With the William Haggas string in good form, it would be folly to ignore Frantanck, who has looked a little one-paced over further recently, but drops back to a mile today. He can go well, but a chance is taken on LOST IN TIME, having his first start for new connections after a Haydock fourth in June. He seems well handicapped on his better form and could go well in these conditions. C&D winner The Rain King could also have a say on his return from a break.
Prediction : 1st Lost In Time 2nd Frantanck 3rd The Rain King

In a wide-open contest a chance is taken on DAPHNE MAY. Adam West's charge has been running with credit in her recent starts, is now 13lb lower than when successful over C&D last June, and the booking of Sean Levey can only heighten interest. The consistent Platinum Prince looks set to mount another bold bid from his low draw, while Gypsy Whisper ought to fare better down in class.
Prediction : 1st Daphne May 2nd Platinum Prince 3rd Gypsy Whisper

Denied by the narrowest of margins on his handicap debut in July, RAMPAGE is fancied to make amends and go one better. The three-year-old remains open to plenty of improvement and he arrives here fresher than most. Afta Party looks a likely candidate off top-weight, ahead of recent Brighton scorer Fourshadesofsilver. Mabre produced a below-par effort at Lingfield in August, but he's a former C&D winner and can't be ruled out returned to this venue.
Prediction : 1st Rampage 2nd Afta Party 3rd Fourshadesofsilver
