UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

SOUTHBANK made a highly encouraging first start for the Chris Gordon yard when coming from the rear to run out a two-length victor at Bath. The four-year-old has a 7lb higher rating to contend with, but that is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. Vape had excuses when finishing behind Lequinto at Chepstow and he could reverse that form to have a say. Sorontar is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Southbank 2nd Vape 3rd Sorontar

With no form to go on, the market could be informative and a tentative vote goes to SWIPED. Ralph Beckett's colt is a half-brother to Luther, who was successful at Listed level in his juvenile campaign, and the son of Too Darn Hot might be well placed to make an instant impression. Nebulon changed hands for 95,000 euros and is related to a couple of winners so he has to be respected. Any market support behind Marcellinus would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Swiped 2nd Nebulon 3rd Marcellinus

Silent City finished two places behind Read All About It when fourth on her introduction at Goodwood, but she shaped with plenty of promise and the daughter of Cityscape may reverse that form. Even so, SHIRAZI looks the way to go. Georgina Nicholls' filly showed a big chunk of improvement from her first start to occupy the runner-up berth at Windsor earlier in the month and, with further progression, she could prove hard to beat.
Prediction : 1st Shirazi 2nd Silent City 3rd Read All About It

ZOULU CHIEF was mid-division behind subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair at York last time and has had wind surgery since. This is less competitive and the son of Zoustar could be bang there at the finish with a repeat of his third at Ascot in April. Nogo's Dream is also facing an easier task having failed to feature in the Epsom Dash. He scored over C&D in May and is reunited with winning partner Oisin Murphy, while Grandlad has a shout on his third at Haydock last month.
Prediction : 1st Zoulu Chief 2nd Nogos Dream 3rd Grandlad

ORIONIS routed the opposition when landing the odds with the minimum of fuss in a maiden at Ripon. William Haggas' filly looks on a fair mark now handicapping for the first time and the daughter of the Sea The Stars is difficult to oppose. Kinetic could bounce back having struggled since scoring here in April, while Mrs Twig steps back up in distance with a shout on last summer's victory at Newmarket and is preferred to Typical Woman.
Prediction : 1st Orionis 2nd Kinetic 3rd Mrs Twig

SOLAR PASS returned a beaten favourite when only fourth at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut and first start since January. A half-sister to useful stablemate Mount Atlas, it would be no surprise if Andrew Balding's filly leaves that form behind and features in the finish. Twilight Moon has been in the mix over 1m2f recently and looks worth a try over this far, as does handicap debutant Bondi, whose dam was successful over 1m4f.
Prediction : 1st Solar Pass 2nd Twilight Moon 3rd Bondi

Despite CHANNAGIDE being the only contender not to have won last time out, he makes the most appeal. Marco Botti's colt was denied a clear run on multiple occasions when finishing over three lengths clear of the third at Newbury and can defy his 4lb rise. Jet Black made every yard of the running to score on her second handicap outing at Redcar, although she may have benefited from her soft lead. Zarakerjack can beat Bownder home for third.
Prediction : 1st Channagide 2nd Jet Black 3rd Zarakerjack

Top Biller failed to supplement his Lingfield success when well beaten in a classified stakes at Bath, but there will be plenty willing to give him another chance. Money Pockets sports a first-time tongue-tie and is worth a second look, but COMMENDATION gets the vote. Michael Keady's filly outran her odds of 18/1 when fourth at Yarmouth on her most recent start and the daughter of Showcasing has Kyle McHugh claiming a handy 7lb now.
Prediction : 1st Commendation 2nd Top Biller 3rd Money Pockets
