UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

The Gary Moore stable can do little wrong at present and preference is for BIG BARD, who bounced back to form with a solid runner-up effort at Lingfield last month. The five-year-old went close over C&D last October and he is taken to master the likes of course regular The Princes Poet and Hannah's Return, who makes her turf debut having won at Kempton last time out. Others to note include Connie's Rose, Joy Choi and Rogue Star.
Prediction : 1st Big Bard 2nd The Princes Poet 3rd Hannahs Return

Not beaten far on her debut at Kempton when only wilting from the front close home, TOKYO DRIFT showed more than enough ability to suggest that she can get off the mark in a race like this. A sister to a debut winner herself in Koropick, Relief Rally looks the pick of the newcomers, ahead of Gaiden, who is a daughter of Mehmas, an excellent influence on speed.
Prediction : 1st Tokyo Drift 2nd Relief Rally 3rd Gaiden

PROSPER LEGEND didn't set the world alight on his debut at Kempton earlier in the month, but he was plenty green on that occasion and got the hang of things late on to finish a never-nearer fourth. With improvement expected on the step up in trip, he is narrowly preferred to well-bred newcomer Shadow Dance and Understated, who performed with plenty of promise on her debut in January.
Prediction : 1st Prosper Legend 2nd Shadow Dance 3rd Understated

Maid In Kentucky was sent on from the start to win over a mile at Lingfield in March, but she steps up in trip for her handicap bow and it will be interesting to see if the same tactics are employed. SUNSET POINT does not hold any classic entries for Charlie Appleby, but she did quicken up nicely to win going away at Lingfield over a mile, and may be better suited by this trip. Swift Lioness and Sydney Mews are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Sunset Point 2nd Maid In Kentucky 3rd Swift Lioness

Pat Cosgrave has an enforced holiday to come but he may add another winner first if SO SMART improves for his short-head Yarmouth second on his first start of the year. Caught on the line that day, he would be a deserved winner. Stable companion Level Up is entitled to have a say, but if Sarah's Verse makes the most of the eight stall, she may be the bigger danger.
Prediction : 1st So Smart 2nd Sarahs Verse 3rd Level Up

Lawn Ranger won his first race since 2021 when steered to the front by Robert Havlin, who keeps the ride this afternoon as the eight-year-old looks to follow up under a 4lb penalty. He can go well, but if WARHOL steps up on his course third off the same mark, the added yardage here may see him emerge victorious. God Of Thunder is another who warrants plenty of respect as he returns from a gelding operation.
Prediction : 1st Warhol 2nd Lawn Ranger 3rd God Of Thunder

MRS MEADER performed with credit during a six-race campaign last year, winning three times. It's possible she needed the run when fourth on her reappearance at Doncaster 23 days ago and she may well be up to posting a personal best with that effort under her belt. Waterloo Sunset is open to improvement over the trip and is feared, while Chargo also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Meader 2nd Waterloo Sunset 3rd Chargo

TWILIGHT GUEST is still low mileage and looks an interesting betting proposition with first-time cheekpieces applied. This will be only his second attempt over 1m and, given he was racing off the back of a 187-day absence at Yarmouth nine days ago, it's feasible to expect an improved effort today. Chinthurst and Greavsie have form that ties in with the selection and are feared most, although support in the betting market for Harry The Haggler would be dangerous to ignore.
Prediction : 1st Twilight Guest 2nd Chinthurst 3rd Greavsie
