(8) Snuggle 10/1, C&D winner. Last of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 31 days ago so needs to bounce back. C&D winner who has tumbled down the weights; quiet in two runs for this yard.

7/2(+61%)
(6) Seven Brothers 7/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago. Can give a good account. More promise the last twice and he's run well over C&D before; interesting down in class.

3rd (5) (4/1 +50%) Northcliff
4
4/1(+50%)
(5) Northcliff 4/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Winner at Wolverhampton in February. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Shortlisted. Poor strike-rate but he comes here in form and conditions will suit; each-way shout.

4th (1) (5/1 -11%) Mumayaz
5
5/1(-11%)
(1) Mumayaz 5/1, 9/2, won 8-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 25 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Back down in trip and needs considering. Won two of his last three on AW (6f and 1m); should remain competitive back on turf.
5th
10
5th (10) (9/1 -38%) Gherkin
9
9/1(-38%)
(10) Gherkin 9/1, Course winner who signed off for 2023 with success in 13-runner handicap at Brighton (6f, heavy, 10/3) 6 months ago. Weighted to go well if fully tuned up for his return. Course winner; has gone well fresh, including when second in this race in 2022.
6th

6th (2) (13/2 +7%) Libra Tiger
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(2) Libra Tiger 13/2, 8/1, won 12-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago, just holding on. Stepping back in the right direction so he's not taken lightly. Game effort at Kempton last month (6f); still feasibly treated and return to turf no issue.
7th

7th (4) (10/1 +0%) Jax Edge
10
10/1(+0%)
(4) Jax Edge 10/1, 12/1, below-form fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 179 days. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Won two sprints last year and still has potential; returning from six months off though.
8th

8th (3) (9/1 +55%) Sassy Belle
9
9/1(+55%)
(3) Sassy Belle 9/1, Latest win at Leicester in October. 50/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 41 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in distance with blinkers refitted. In the mix. Two 6f Leicester wins for Ed Walker; yet to fire for new yard; best watched for now.
9th

9th (9) (28/1 +30%) Whistledown
28
28/1(+30%)
(9) Whistledown 28/1, First run since leaving Jack Channon when last of 10 in handicap (150/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 77 days ago, slowly away. Lots more is required for her new handler. Quiet in a light 2023 campaign and well beaten on stable debut 11 weeks ago; lots to prove.
16:10 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Last-time-out winners Mumayaz and Libra Tiger enter the reckoning despite both edging up in the ratings, while Northcliff ran well to be placed third off the same mark at Yarmouth nine days ago and can again get competitive with Harry Davies retaining the ride. However, marginal preference is for JAX EDGE, who is taken to expand on her profitable association with Gina Mangan, with her 3lb claim likely to come in handy.
A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for LIBRA TIGER who arrives in excellent nick and can defy a 3 lb weights rise to follow up his Kempton victory. Mumayaz is feared most on the back of his own Southwell success with Sassy Belle, Gherkin and Conquistador, a winner at Brighton on Saturday, in the picture too.
David Probert's mount SEVEN BROTHERS may be primed to exploit today's drop in class.
(1) Beyond Equal 3/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 51 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time. Holds good claims off an easing mark. On a losing run but returns to turf off a lowly mark and has a tongue tie added.
2

(2) (10/3 -21%) Ghathanfar
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(2) Ghathanfar 10/3, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft, 11/2), going off too hard. Off 6 months and needs to hit the ground running. 20lb lower than 12 months ago; well drawn; interesting contender now down to 0-70 level.
4
4
(4) (4/1 -45%) Strike
4
4/1(-45%)
(4) Strike 4/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 15/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f). Looks competitive on form if fully tuned up after 6 months off the track. Modest strike-rate but conditions to suit & he's on a winning mark; back from 6 months off.
5
5
(5) (13/2 +0%) On Edge
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(5) On Edge 13/2, C&D winner. Four wins from 8 runs last year. Latest win here in October. Tenth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW). Off 149 days but the sort to bounce back. Completed hat-trick in the autumn, the last leg over C&D; more to come but absent 5 months.
8
8
(8) (9/1 +55%) Symbol Of Hope
9
9/1(+55%)
(8) Symbol Of Hope 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Grace Harris. Needs a couple of these to falter. New yard has won this race a couple of times and he resumes his career off a fair mark.
3
3
(3) (12/1 -220%) Newyorkstateofmind
12
12/1(-220%)
(3) Newyorkstateofmind 12/1, Made light of 5 months off when landing 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago. That form has been franked so big shout despite taking a 3 lb rise. Winning return to action at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; up 3lb but one to consider.
7
7
(7) (14/1 +0%) The Cola Kid
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) The Cola Kid 14/1, Three wins from 18 runs last year. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 4/1). Off 159 days. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Three wins last year but returns from a break off a tough mark; Rossa Ryan booked though.
9
9
(9) (14/1 +22%) Roman Spring
14
14/1(+22%)
(9) Roman Spring 14/1, Still a maiden and he went off too hard when sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 96 days ago. More is required. 0-12 but has shown enough to think he could win races at this sort of level.
6
6
(6) (125/1 -150%) Beau Roc
125
125/1(-150%)
(6) Beau Roc 125/1, Last of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey with work to do. Ended time with G Boughey quietly; sold for 1,000gns in November; no headgear for return.
16:45 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Newyorkstateofmind exploited a drop in the ratings to score at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and can still be a force off just 3lb higher now back on turf, while Beyond Equal is dangerously well handicapped on older form and, with a first-time tongue strap applied, is fancied to be on the premises. However, STRIKE is back on a winning mark and, with the return to 6f not expected to be an issue, Jonathan Portman's gelding looks the pick of the bunch in this wide-open contest.
A few with chances but Ruth Carr's NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND looks the way to go here with the form of his reappearance Wolverhampton success working out well. Beyond Equal is on a long losing sequence but still rates the main danger off an easing mark. Strike is another weighted to play a part if ready to roll after six months off the course.
Ghathanfar is interesting off his lowly mark but SYMBOL OF HOPE came to hand early last year and can make a winning stable debut.
(3) Kaadi 13/8, Foaled March 10. €52,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m/9f winner Hotel Wren and 5f winner Mythical Phoenix. Promising individual. 9/4, second of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 12 days ago. Likely to improve and one to note. Second of six on AW debut 12 days ago, showing good speed; that experience a plus today.

3/1(+65%)
(7) Patsy Snugfit 3/1, Foaled February 27. 18,000 gns foal, Havana Grey filly. Closely related to winner up to 7.4f Idoapologise and half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 1¼m winner Let's Dream and winner up to 1½m Speedful. 18,000gns foal; 4 winning siblings & dam was useful; yard's 2yos have made a flying start.

6/1(+50%)
(6) Miss Collada 6/1, Foaled April 25. 13,000 gns foal, 37,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by Mondialiste. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 10.3f Cai Shen. 37,000gns half-sister to a 7f winner in Qatar; dam a 5f 2yo winner (RPR 87); interesting.

(5) (11/1 -100%) Liberty Bird
11
11/1(-100%)
(5) Liberty Bird 11/1, Foaled January 28. 30,000 gns foal, 16,000 gns yearling, Without Parole filly.

14/1(-250%)
(4) Lady Lovebug 14/1, Foaled April 4. Kodiac filly. Dam, 5f winner, closely related to useful 6f (including at 2 yrs) winner Tashaaboh. First foal of a 2yo Listed winner; yard off mark with 2yos this year; looks a likely type.

(8) Piranha Rama 28/1, Foaled February 22. 12,000 gns yearling, Massaat filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Go On Go On Go On and 5f/6f winner Dahawi. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. February foal who is bred to be useful; one to note for market confidence.

17:20 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KAADI was just edged out by a very promising filly on her debut at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and, sure to be wiser, the daughter of Soldier's Call can put that experience to good use here. Lady Lovebug appeals on pedigree and the Amo Racing-owned filly is one to seriously consider if attracting support in the betting. Miss Collada runs for a yard in flying form and is another must for consideration.
Mostly newcomers, and the market should guide, but KAADI showed more than enough on debut to suggest she'll be winning sooner rather than later. Lady Lovebug and Bacor could be the pick of the debutantes.
The betting should provide clues but as things stand PATSY SNUGFIT is tentatively preferred to Miss Collada and Lady Lovebug.
(6) Deira Mile 4/9, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Charlie Johnston when 2½ lengths fourth of 7 to Ancient Wisdom in Futurity Trophy (50/1) at Doncaster (8f, heavy) on final 2-y-o start. Hard to oppose. Fourth in a Group 1 (1m, heavy) when last seen; that run sets the standard; ground a query.
5
5
(5) (15/8 +0%) Castle In The Sand
1.875
15/8(+0%)
(5) Castle In The Sand 15/8, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 11 in maiden (11/10) at Southwell (8.1f) 32 days ago. Up in trip and he should pick up a race soon enough. Useful form at up to 1m but he'll need to progress for the longer trip to beat Deira Mile.
7
7
(7) (11/1 +73%) St Mungos Park
11
11/1(+73%)
(7) St Mungos Park 11/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 13 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut, slowly away. Off 171 days. Significantly up in trip. Last of 13 in a heavy-ground novice (7f) in November; bred to do much better at some point.
2
2
(2) (66/1 +47%) Bobacious
66
66/1(+47%)
(2) Bobacious 66/1, Once-raced maiden on Flat. 200/1 and hood on for 1st time in this code, sixth of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW) on debut in this sphere 12 days ago. Has hinted at ability, including on Flat debut 12 days ago (1m2f, AW); still best watched.
3
3
(3) (80/1 -21%) Grey Owl
80
80/1(-21%)
(3) Grey Owl 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW, 22/1), slowly away. Off 6 months. Back up in trip and he's hard to warm to. Modest form in two runs last September; handicaps more suitable after this.
1
1
(1) (125/1 +0%) Alberto
125
125/1(+0%)
(1) Alberto 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving George Baker when last of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm). Off 8 months and now steps significantly up in trip. Well beaten in two runs over shorter; plenty to prove.
8
8
(8) (150/1 -50%) Cutting Edge Queen
150
150/1(-50%)
(8) Cutting Edge Queen 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 18 days ago. Up in trip. 250-1 and little short-term promise at Lingfield (1m, AW) 18 days ago.
17:50 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DEIRA MILE belied odds of 50-1 when finishing an excellent fourth in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster in October and, should all be well ahead of his return, he looks the one to beat. Castle In The Sand, a runner-up on each of his last three starts, looks best placed to take advantage should the selection underperform. St Mungos Park struggled in a warm Newmarket novice on his debut, but he could pick up some minor money in these calmer waters.
DEIRA MILE showed plenty in four starts last season, culminating in a solid fourth in a Group 1 at Doncaster, and he will prove hard to beat back up in trip here. Castle In The Sand is the clear pick for forecast purposes, with Bobacious perhaps the best option for those seeking an each-way angle.
This might be tighter than BHA ratings suggest but DEIRA MILE still edges preference over Castle In The Sand.
(1) Composite 5/2, Thrice-raced winner on Flat. One win from 2 runs last year. Won 9-runner minor event (5/2) at Kempton (11f), well on top finish. Off 103 days ahead of this handicap debut. Should improve. Progressed nicely on AW during the winter; respected on handicap debut.
3
3
(3) (11/4 +66%) Insanity
2.75
11/4(+66%)
(3) Insanity 11/4, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Kempton (16f, soft, 9/1) 117 days ago. Off 117 days and others make more appeal. Has some promising Flat form, notably a Ffos Las win under Rossa Ryan.
8
8
(8) (11/2 +0%) Rockit Tommy
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(8) Rockit Tommy 11/2, Twice-raced winner. Evens, won 7-runner minor event at this course (10f, heavy), driven out. Off for 11 months and more needed now pitched into a handicap but he's unexposed and could have lote more to offer. 2-2 in novice events last spring, latest win at this venue; interesting.
2
2
(2) (10/1 -150%) Liseo
10
10/1(-150%)
(2) Liseo 10/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (11f, 11/4) 21 days ago, kept up to work. 3 lb nudge demands further improvement from this 5-y-o. Not an obvious type to follow up his latest AW win; 0-9 on turf.
4
4
(4) (10/1 -25%) Way Of Life
10
10/1(-25%)
(4) Way Of Life 10/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Kempton (12f) 51 days ago. Likely to give another good account of himself. Very consistent, mostly on AW, since September; place claims.
7
7
(7) (11/1 +73%) Wahraan
11
11/1(+73%)
(7) Wahraan 11/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 25/1) 33 days ago, considerately handled. Hood on 1st time. Expected to be bang there. Needs to prove he retains ability but may fare better now back on turf.
10
10
(10) (14/1 +0%) Just An Hour
14
14/1(+0%)
(10) Just An Hour 14/1, 4¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Liseo in handicap at Kempton (11f, 33/1) 21 days ago. Minor place monety is probably the very best she can hope for. Seemed a non-stayer over 1m3f last time; stamina still to prove.
5

(5) (18/1 -157%) Sonnerie Power
18
18/1(-157%)
(5) Sonnerie Power 18/1, Latest win at Kempton in October. 17/2, very good 1½ lengths fourth of 9 to Liseo in handicap at Kempton (11f) 21 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Clear signs of a return to form on latest AW start; possibilities.
9
9
(9) (25/1 +24%) Croeso Cymraeg
25
25/1(+24%)
(9) Croeso Cymraeg 25/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 6/1), unable to sustain effort. Off 165 days. Veteran who has never made a winning reappearance.
11
11
(11) (28/1 -250%) Lusaka
28
28/1(-250%)
(11) Lusaka 28/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Bath (14f, good, 10/3) when last seen in September, keeping on well. 5 lb rise fair enough and she has to be respected in her hat-trick bid. Productive in 2023 but isn't crying out for this drop back in trip.
6
6
(6) (100/1 -52%) Tarjamah
100
100/1(-52%)
(6) Tarjamah 100/1, 150/1, first run since leaving Francois Rohaut when last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 14 days ago. Probably best watched for now. Lightly raced; trailed home last on stable/seasonal debut.
18:20 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although COMPOSITE doesn't look obviously well treated ahead of his handicap bow, the gelded son of Cracksman ought to progress on turf this season and must surely have what it takes to land a race of this nature. Lusaka landed a valuable stayers' final at Bath when last in action and he merits respect ahead of his reappearance, while others to note include Insanity and Rockit Tommy.
SONNERIE POWER posted his best effort for current connections when an unlucky-in-running fourth behind Liseo at Kempton at the beginning of the month. If able to avoid traffic problems this time, the 5-y-o could be the answer. The unexposed duo Composite and Rockit Tommy are live dangers, while Liseo should give his running and Lusaka is also shortlisted. The ex-Sir Michael Stoute-trained Wahraan is worth a second look, too, in what is a competitive handicap.
Handicap debutants ROCKIT TOMMY and Composite are the most interesting contenders in this field.
(2) Cock And Bull 5/6, Promising sort who opened his account in 5-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 19 days ago, kept up to work. 8lb higher now but remains open to improvement. Off the mark at Kempton last time and looks open to further progress in handicaps.
5
5
(5) (7/2 +56%) Arch Legend
3.5
7/2(+56%)
(5) Arch Legend 7/2, Promising sort. 150/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW), badly hampered. Off 156 days. Oisin Murphy booked for handicap debut and warrants respect. Camelot colt who is open to improvement in middle-distance handicaps.
3
3
(3) (9/2 +10%) Spartan Warrior
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(3) Spartan Warrior 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in minor event (33/1) at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve. Looks the type to improve now handicapping and upped in distance; interesting.
1
1
(1) (10/1 -82%) Continuance
10
10/1(-82%)
(1) Continuance 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in nursery (11/2) at this course (8.1f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard (gelded since last run) after leaving Jack Channon. Others look better treated. May improve for this new trip on debut for new yard; market support should be noted.
4
4
(4) (22/1 -238%) Walter Hartright
22
22/1(-238%)
(4) Walter Hartright 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 5/2) 12 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Gives the impression he'll benefit from the first-time headgear; should improve.
6
6
(6) (33/1 -32%) Weston Court
33
33/1(-32%)
(6) Weston Court 33/1, Still looking for first success and was below form when last seen at Kempton in December. The most exposed contender and isn't certain to stay the new trip.
7
7
(7) (100/1 -150%) Potters Diamond
100
100/1(-150%)
(7) Potters Diamond 100/1, Yet to threaten in 4 starts, including on handicap bow at Wolverhampton last month. Tried over longer trip on turf debut. 1 lb out of the weights. Turf debutante who has poor claims judged on her AW efforts.
18:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Although 8lb higher now back on turf following his recent Kempton success, Cock And Bull can put his stamina to good use and play a leading role. However, a chance is taken on SPARTAN WARRIOR. Ollie Sangster's charge didn't show much across his three qualifying runs, but it could be a different story stepped up in trip and sent handicapping for the first time. Continuance is also noted.
COCK AND BULL built on his promising handicap bow when scoring at Kempton earlier this month and remains low mileage. He can follow up. Potential improvers Arch Legend and Spartan Warrior are feared most.
The form choice is Kempton winner COCK AND BULL. Handicap debutants Spartan Warrior and Arch Legend are interesting.
(6) Auric 13/8, Built on encouraging debut when landing 8-runner minor event at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago. Switches to handicaps now and should have more to offer. Did well to win at Kempton latest; opening mark looks fair; lots more to come; turf debut.

(3) (9/2 +55%) Miami Heat
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(3) Miami Heat 9/2, Winner at Kempton (7f) in November. Last of 7 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 12/1). Off 126 days. Joined new yard and gelded since. Worth a market check on return. 7f winner for former yard; gelded prior to stable debut; not ruled out down in trip.
4
4
(4) (11/2 +21%) Mesaafi
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(4) Mesaafi 11/2, Stepped up on previous efforts (gelded since last start) when third of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 14/1) 19 days ago. Likely more to come on handicap debut and merits consideration. Opening mark looks fair judged on recent Kempton 3rd (7f); not sure sharp 6f is optimal.

19:20 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AURIC is a handicapper with a bright future and may well blow his introductory mark of 74 out of the water if he lives up to Oisin Murphy's glowing appraisal following his hard-fought victory at Kempton 16 days ago. Murphy suggested the son of Havana Gold will benefit from a stronger pace and looks sure to get that if the usually free-going Miami Heat helps to set a decent tempo. Acer is respected but can also be keen in his races, a scenario which can set things up nicely for the selection.
Preference is for AURIC, who showed a good attitude when scoring at Kempton earlier this month and remains with potential on handicap debut. Shelbourne and Mesaafi rate the principal dangers.
Miami Heat is of interest on his stable debut but the unexposed AURIC (nap) can make light of his opening mark.
(8) Hatadora 4/1, Lingfield winner (8f) in February who arrives on back of creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 11/4) 5 days ago, having to pick way through. Makes turf debut. Merits consideration. Things haven't gone to plan twice since her Lingfield win in Feb; looks well handicapped.

(4) Persian Phoenix 11/2, 17/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago, having run of race. Others more persuasive. 7f AW win at two but she's found life tough in handicaps; more realistically treated now.

(11) Ocean Bliss 7/1, Consistent sort who posted another solid effort when fourth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, having run of race. Should give another good account. Better for the step up to 1m the last twice; needs a career best but that's possible.

19:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Richard Hannon's tendency to target races at Windsor cannot be underestimated and, on the back of what has been a sparkling return to form by runners from the yard, HATADORA has a lot going for her as she bids expand on the healthy strike-rate for the stable at this venue. Open to any amount of improvement, the selection debuts on turf from a potentially lenient mark, with the return to 1m a major factor. Kempton winner Palazzo Persico has 7lb more to shoulder, so perhaps Persian Phoenix may pose a bigger threat on these terms.
HATADORA should be suited by the return to this longer trip and gets the nod in the finale. Palazzo Persico and Ocean Bliss can also make their presence felt.
Stall 12 isn't ideal for the well-handicapped Hatadora and the unexposed THEWORLDSNOTENOUGH could be worth siding with.
