UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

SIEGEN didn't need a second invitation when a gap finally appeared in the closing stages at Sandown, and he burst clear to win with plenty in hand. Richard Hannon's colt can take the step into nursery company in his stride. Leicester novice winner Blinky failed to get involved in the Norfolk Stakes at Ascot, but this looks more his level, while the filly Where's Clare was outclassed in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot having won on the all-weather before that.
Prediction : 1st Siegen 2nd Blinky 3rd Wheres Clare

BOLD IMPACT returns to action with leading claims having made a promising debut when third at Newmarket back in May. The first two home have both subsequently won, so that form looks rock-solid and he gets the vote. Rokuni has been gelded since disappointing at Leicester but had shown ability at Ascot on his debut and can't be written off, while George Scott has trained the last two winners of this and runs the newcomer The Feminine Urge. Hoodie Hoo is another debutant to note with William Buick on board.
Prediction : 1st Bold Impact 2nd Rokuni 3rd The Feminine Urge

UNDER SIEGE found only Lead Artist too good at York on his latest start and stands out from the pack on that form. The winner has since placed in Listed company and Andrew Balding's grey colt faces nothing of that calibre in this. Min Huna showed a modicum of improvement at Goodwood but there should be more to come from her, while stable companion Bullet Point is upped in trip with a chance of finishing closer. Shamran is a likely improver and is preferred of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Under Siege 2nd Min Huna 3rd Bullet Point

Roi De France was denied by a short head into second when sent off at odds on to shed his maiden tag over C&D last month and holds an obvious chance. However, he could be playing second fiddle this time around to AMPHIUS. Harry Charlton's three-year-old finished fourth behind Economics on his debut and followed that up with a pleasing second behind Indelible, who has placed in Listed class since. With William Buick back in the saddle, he could prove very hard to beat, while Northern Ruler warrants a market check on his racecourse debut.
Prediction : 1st Amphius 2nd Roi De France 3rd Northern Ruler

Tiger Bay has hit the crossbar in this grade the last twice, including over C&D on her penultimate start, and she is likely to be thereabouts once again. The vote, though, goes to MEZZO SOPRANO, who made a very pleasing start to her four-year-old career, despite losing her unbeaten record, when filling the runner-up spot over 7f at Thirsk last month. Simon & Ed Crisford's filly will have no problems with this drop back in trip and she can go one better. Beyond Borders appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mezzo Soprano 2nd Tiger Bay 3rd Beyond Borders

Great Chieftain built on his two promising efforts after being gelded to score at Newbury earlier in the month and he would be foolish to dismiss off a 5lb higher rating. However, WAR CHANT looks the way to go. The son of War Command did remarkably well to finish third at Doncaster last time, as he met plenty of traffic problems at a vital stage in that contest, and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. The hat-trick seeking Red Hat Eagle is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st War Chant 2nd Great Chieftain 3rd Red Hat Eagle

The hat-trick-seeking God Of Fire looks set to throw down another stern challenge from 1lb higher than Wednesday's Kempton triumph, but a wide drawn could be far from ideal and FAST STEPS is preferred. Rod Millman's charge was able to justify strong market support when on target at Newbury last time out, and, under similar conditions, a 5lb rise should be no barrier to further success. Others to note include Morcar and Silver Gunn.
Prediction : 1st Fast Steps 2nd God Of Fire 3rd Morcar

Stepped up to 1m2f for the first time here on his handicap bow three weeks ago, WOOTTON'S JEWEL found significant improvement to record the narrowest of victories. There should be plenty more to come from Michael Bell's gelding, and he's taken to defy a subsequent 3lb rise. Due To Henry had no luck in running at Yarmouth recently. Connections will be hopeful of a kinder passage on this occasion, though, and the booking of William Buick is a real statement of intent. Expected Arrival heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Woottons Jewel 2nd Due To Henry 3rd Expected Arrival
