UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

THE COLA KID's recent efforts over an extended 5f at Bath suggest that the extra yardage in this event could unlock some more improvement. Grace Harris' gelding is fancied to return to winning ways, with the in-form Tilsworth Ony Ta next best. The four-year-old has been running with credit in classified stakes company of late and shouldn't be underestimated on the return to this sphere, while Lion Ring could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st The Cola Kid 2nd Tilsworth Ony Ta 3rd Lion Ring

Dubai Hills wasn't quite ready for Group 3 company in France in June and much better is expected in these calmer waters. However, Amy Murphy's colt meets two-time winning filly MAPMAKER. The daughter of Aclaim now has Liam Wright on board, who claims a handy 7lb, and a reproduction of her latest performance may suffice. George's Rascal is entitled to build on his debut fourth at Brighton in June and makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mapmaker 2nd Dubai Hills 3rd Georges Rascal

GLADLY EVER AFTER shaped better than the beaten distance in the Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot recently suggests, and she must hold every chance of regaining the winning thread at this lower level. Archie Watson's filly looks the one to beat, ahead of debut fourth Drama. The son of Havana Grey should have learned plenty from his experience at Newbury last month and likely has more to come this season. Invincible Aura and Tayala are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Gladly Ever After 2nd Drama 3rd Invincible Aura

PINPOINT got off the mark in comfortable fashion at Bath recently and the step up in trip should eke out further improvement as he looks to follow up. He is preferred to the likes of Lingfield winner Monks Mead and Kiss And Run, who could be interesting for in-form connections on her nursery debut. Dainty Lady and Eyeros are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Pinpoint 2nd Monks Mead 3rd Kiss And Run

The Eve Johnson Houghton stable can do little wrong at present and VIDI VICI must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form that saw him finish a promising second in a seller at Goodwood on his penultimate start. This may well be the right trip for Birkie Boy, who wasn't beaten far at Bath last time out, while Another Gift and Villas Bullet are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Vidi Vici 2nd Birkie Boy 3rd Another Gift

A promising second on her debut at Chelmsford in May, this can go the way of MAKE CLEAR, who should be open to further improvement on the back of that effort. Mezon had Flying Kiss (fifth) behind when scoring first time out at Leicester, but she faces a much tougher task under a penalty. Starstriker is one to note for market support on her first start for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Make Clear 2nd Mezon 3rd Flying Kiss

PORTORO romped home to record a breakthrough success at Salisbury last month and, though a subsequent 13lb rise might appear harsh, he is open to further improvement at this level and might be up to the task. Goblet Of Fire merits the utmost respect as he goes in search of a hat-trick, having won at Hamilton and Yarmouth recently. Anticipating has yet to show any significant promise, but she starts off in handicaps off a potentially workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Portoro 2nd Goblet Of Fire 3rd Anticipating

STARRY EYES got back on track with a success in classified stakes company last month. The return to handicaps will demand more of her, but she remains well treated and might have been revitalised by that confidence-boosting victory. Thewaytothestars is likely to give her running under a 5lb penalty, while Global Tycoon and Reel Power are fancied to battle it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Starry Eyes 2nd Thewaytothestars 3rd Global Tycoon
