UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to CUPOLA. The Clive Cox-trained daughter of Harry Angel has shown clear ability in her three starts to date, all on the all-weather. She looks certain to relish the switch to turf and an opening mark of 68 looks well within range. Both Valsharah and Camera Shy were too keen over 7f at Newmarket last time out so the drop in trip could be of benefit. Style King is another to consider having struck the woodwork at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Cupola 2nd Valsharah 3rd Camera Shy

Special Ghaiyyath sets the standard with an official rating of 76 and he's of considerable interest back on the grass after posting a couple of positive efforts at Wolverhampton recently. A chance is still taken on FANTASY WORLD, who can be forgiven a lacklustre debut performance given the testing ground conditions that day. He ought to progress throughout the year but it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement on his return, especially now he has been gelded. Chelsea Old Church is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Fantasy World 2nd Special Ghaiyyath 3rd Chelsea Old Church

ABUNDANCE made an eyecatching debut at Wolverhampton in October having been repeatedly denied a clear run in the home straight, and that effort sets the form standard. He returns to action with his stable among the winners and if appreciating the switch to turf, he could be hard to beat. The booking of Oisin Murphy for Sea Founder looks noteworthy and he's considered along with Bondi, who will find this easier than the Wood Ditton he contested on his introduction.
Prediction : 1st Abundance 2nd Sea Founder 3rd Bondi

John & Thady Gosden won a division of this contest in 2023 and both divisions last year. The yard is represented by Dante and Derby entrant TYCOON and the son of Kingman should excel over this longer distance, having finished third over 7f at Sandown last term behind subsequent Greenham winner Jonquil. Kempton fourth Noble Horizon is also in the Dante and Derby, while Relocal and Glazia are newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Tycoon 2nd Noble Horizon 3rd Relocal

FIRST OFFICER made a winning seasonal debut in this contest last year and is taken to repeat the dose. The son of Galileo won again at Newmarket in September and can launch another strong challenge off a similar mark. Expert Witness enters calculations on the back of a decent second over 1m4f at Leicester, while Silver Gunn could only manage fourth in last year's renewal but could finish closer this time on more favourable terms.
Prediction : 1st First Officer 2nd Expert Witness 3rd Silver Gunn

KINETIC returned the ready winner at Lingfield just five days ago. A penalty for that success is negated by her rider's allowance and James Owen's filly can go in again back on the turf. Queen's Company won over 1m4f at the end of last year and a recent spin over a shorter trip will have blown any cobwebs away, while Forest Spirit failed to fire at Wolverhampton last time but is not easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Kinetic 2nd Queens Company 3rd Forest Spirit

HERKEIOS supplemented his close-up second at Newcastle with a respectable third at Yarmouth earlier this month. The Zoustar gelding races off an unchanged mark and he could be ready to open his account. Skyelight returned from a 143-day break to finish third at Lingfield recently and reverting to turf shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Market support for handicap debutant Paragon would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Herkeios 2nd Skyelight 3rd Paragon

Having just held on to score over 6f at Lingfield recently, Harry Brown warrants respect. However, a quick turnaround and 5lb penalty could leave the five-year-old vulnerable, which could leave the door open for TORFRIDA. Pam Sly's mare arrives on the back of a close-up second at Pontefract and a 2lb rise in the ratings is far from insurmountable. Triple course scorer Bama Lama could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Torfrida 2nd Harry Brown 3rd Bama Lama
