Leg 1 Selections: Stone Circle, Four Adaay

Antiphon is the only course-and-distance winner in the field but he was behind STONE CIRCLE when the latter won at Yarmouth last time and the winner is even better off at the weights in this race. He is taken to confirm his superiority with conditions unlikely to prevent him from going close in his follow-up bid. 

I’ll also include the well-treated FOUR ADAAY from the Brian Millman team, who defied a five-pound higher mark last May in a class 4 and this is a class 6. Oliver Searle takes off a further additional three-pounds, so he could be hard to beat having run well on similar ground in the past.

Leg 2 Selections: Royal Cape 

This should be a match-up between the top two in the betting and while Pumalin Park won last time, he is penalised this time and might find it hard to give seven-pounds to ROYAL CAPE who went close at Kempton last time. 

This son of Gleneagles will be partnered by Oisin Murphy and gets a decent slot in stall 3. He is open to a lot more improvement switched to the turf and is fancied to make it third time lucky for connections, who is his trainer’s only runner on the card as well.

Leg 3 Selections: Sparks Fly, Bletchley Storm

SPARKS FLY is the only one of these with a win over course-and-distance and that came last time, where she won easily under similar conditions. She carries a penalty this time but has more to come and should take plenty of beating with lots in her favour and Rossa Ryan keeping the ride too.

BLETCHLEY STORM might emerge as the biggest danger though, who ran well on deep ground at Nottingham last-time-out when second and is on the same mark here. She is only rated two-pounds lower than the odds-on favourite, so she is definitely worthy of inclusion at the odds.

Leg 4 Selections: Lequinto, Indian Creak 

LEQUINTO has won two of his three starts at this course and both those wins were over track and trip in higher-grade company. He is unproven on ground this soft but he is well-treated and should be extremely competitive if handling the ground. 

INDIAN CREAK also likes it here, with three course wins to his name, all of which have been over track and trip and is five-pounds lower than the latest of those. He should be able to build on his latest return when sixth here and is expected to be bang in contention with Rose Dawes taking off an additional five-pounds too. 

16:29 Windsor

Leg 5 Selections: Croeso Cymraeg, Shamekh

CROESO CYMRAEG ran really well on his return at Leicester when beaten only half-a-length and remains on the same mark as when last successful. He is likely to get a soft lead, he has proven form on soft ground and will benefit from the reduction in distance. He could be hard to beat with fitness now assured. 

James Ferguson has made a bright start to that Flat season and Leicester winner SHAMEKH has a good chance to make a winning stable/handicap debut. He has an absence to overcome carrying top-weight on deep ground but should be thereabouts.

Leg 6 Selections: Mr Zee, Albus Anne 

MR ZEE never saw another rival when winning from the front over course-and-distance two weeks ago on heavy ground and he has only gone up two-pounds, which seems quite generous. He is surely capable of building on that success, so is definitely included as it is hard to see him out of the frame with a similar performance. 

ALBUS ANNE chased home the former in that very race two weeks ago, where she was outpaced before staying on strongly to take second. She has only been nudged up a pound and looks poised to run another big race with conditions certainly holding no fears.
