UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

CONFEDERATION posted an improved effort when runner-up over this distance of 6f at Kempton in January and he could take some stopping now returned to the turf off only 2lb higher. Destiny's Spirit was a progressive sort last season and she may have needed her seasonal debut when finishing fourth at Nottingham last month. Dominic Ffrench Davis' filly is feared most, ahead of Twayblade, who should appreciate this switch from the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Confederation 2nd Destinys Spirit 3rd Twayblade

REVENUE made a fine start to his racing career when winning with something in hand at Brighton recently and he looks to have found a suitable opportunity to back that performance up. Newcomer Palmar Bay is the potential fly in the ointment and any market support should be respected. Clearly better was expected of Macedonian King than his seventh on debut at Beverley last month, but it's too early to be writing off Amy Murphy's colt.
Prediction : 1st Revenue 2nd Palmar Bay 3rd Macedonian King

Orange N Blue appears to set the standard judged on his midfield finish in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket last month, but he may prove vulnerable to some interesting newcomers. VILLAZON, a half-brother to French Group 2 winner Strathspey, heads the list, and any market support for the son of Cracksman would make him of more interest. Fellow debutants Mineko and Circuit Breaker could also be smart and complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Villazon 2nd Mineko 3rd Circuit Breaker

We Could Be Heroes sets the standard for others to aim at having placed behind the likes of Victory Dance and Marbaan on his first couple of starts. However, NOTHING TO SEA just shades the vote, as he shaped really well in second on his first start at Sandown over 7f in a race that has thrown out four subsequent winners since. With the step up in trip a possible source of improvement, he could prove tough to beat. Lunatick is also respected with Oisin Murphy booked.
Prediction : 1st Nothing To Sea 2nd We Could Be Heroes 3rd Lunatick

BUCEPHALUS scored on his penultimate start over 1m2f at Doncaster and now steps back up from a mile on his most recent effort for the Neil Mulholland stable. The six-year-old hit the line well over that trip and he is unexposed at this distance, which could give him a leading chance. Another to consider is Splendent, who was a respectable sixth in this class last time, when sporting a first-time tongue tie, and was dropped 1lb in the weights for that effort. Downsman is of interest in a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Bucephalus 2nd Splendent 3rd Downsman

BANG ON THE BELL brought the double up on his latest outing when just prevailing by a short head at Yarmouth last month, and the four-year-old is only 2lb higher for that effort. With lots in his favour once more and the booking of Oisin Murphy a huge positive, he could prove difficult to beat. The main threat looks to be last-time-out winner Secret Handsheikh, who has been raised 4lb in the weights, which makes life tougher but he is still capable of going close, along with Rich Rhythm.
Prediction : 1st Bang On The Bell 2nd Secret Handsheikh 3rd Rich Rhythm

TAMARAMA improved for the step up to 1m2f when ending last season with a victory at Chelmsford in October. The daughter of Muhaarar could have more to offer, especially given the fact she was sold for 115,000gns subsequently and now makes her debut for Ralph Beckett. Dal Mallart is likely to progress from her first run of the season at Chelmsford, while Sophosc is of interest back on the level.
Prediction : 1st Tamarama 2nd Dal Mallart 3rd Sophosc

Racing Demon has been knocking on the door on his last couple of starts and the gelding is likely to enter calculations once again, despite a 2lb rise for those efforts. The vote, though, goes to OPTIK, who hasn't shown much in three runs to date, but the application of first-time blinkers and being gelded are likely to bring about considerable improvement on his handicap debut. Stintino Sunset's last effort on turf saw her finish second at Leicester and she isn't one to discount.
Prediction : 1st Optik 2nd Racing Demon 3rd Stintino Sunset
