UK Horse Racing Tips: Windsor

FLAGON DRY gets a nice weight-for-age allowance and can make it count. A Southwell maiden winner on the level, he has made only a fair start to his hurdling career, although he did occupy the runner-up berth at Wetherby and could be fairly treated now stepping into a handicap. Much better is also expected from Delta Blues Belle now she is out of novice company, while Cumhacht will be dangerous if judged on his Ffos Las second rather than his subsequent heavy Doncaster defeat.
Prediction : 1st Flagon Dry 2nd Delta Blues Belle 3rd Cumhacht

Fountains Blenhein hung away his chance when turned over at odds-on at Plumpton and must concede weight to a couple of promising novices. Pottersville banished a terrible jumping debut at Newbury to the memory when demolishing her Exeter rivals, but a chance is taken on the fitness of ASSERTIVE WALK. The O'Neill's five-year-old made a debut full of promise when third at Chepstow in November 2024 and can play his part in his yard's recent resurgence.
Prediction : 1st Assertive Walk 2nd Pottersville 3rd Fountains Blenhein

Almost two years on the sidelines has apparently done little to diminish LETS GO TO VEGAS' enthusiasm because she stuck her neck out admirably to prevail at Haydock. The third has won since to boost the form and, as long as she doesn't bounce, Alastair Ralph's mare can follow up. Bobbi With An I has been sent off favourite the last twice and her Wincanton second suggested her turn is imminent. Looking As You Are is expected to run her usual honest race, with Game Colours and Jasmine D'airy in with a shout too.
Prediction : 1st Lets Go To Vegas 2nd Bobbi With An I 3rd Game Colours

Bond Broker will try to put his experience to good use after three starts over fences, but he has been beaten a long way each time and it would be no surprise if KOUKEO made a winning start over the larger obstacles. A hurdles winner at Exeter, he is related to plenty of winning chasers in France and gets to race here off bottom weight. Norn Iron may prove his biggest threat if he brushes up his jumping after his Warwick second.
Prediction : 1st Koukeo 2nd Norn Iron 3rd Bond Broker

Toothless disappointed when only fifth at Wincanton after a bad mistake five out, but he is better than that and could be worth another chance. Mister Cessna is a relative youngster at the age of five, and he can go close based on recent evidence, but preference is for SHANTOU LUCKY. Only beaten a neck off 2lb higher at Fakenham in a similar race last month, a repeat of that may be all he needs.
Prediction : 1st Shantou Lucky 2nd Toothless 3rd Mister Cessna

HARTINGTON just edges it on the basis that it was a really competitive handicap hurdle he finished a neck second in at Haydock in November. He's been given time to get over those exertions and makes slightly more appeal than Wellington Arch, who sparkled at Aintree last season before running a mighty race in defeat at the Punchestown Festival. Guard Duty is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Hartington 2nd Wellington Arch 3rd Guard Duty

FORTUNE DANCER might be all the rage in the finale and punters will be hoping she arrives in the same form as when bolting up at Uttoxeter in November. 2-2 over fences and with the yard in such good nick, it's really difficult to get away from the Soldier Of Fortune mare. The dangers are Bridget Mary and All Authorized.
Prediction : 1st Fortune Dancer 2nd Bridget Mary 3rd All Authorized
