1st (1) Antiphon (3/1 -20%)
Antiphon

3/1(-20%)
(1) Antiphon 3/1, Course winner. 9/1, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 8 to Stone Circle in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, heavy) 16 days ago, giving best only late in the day. Shortlist material.
Course winner; on winning mark and ran a sound race behind Stone Circle latest.

2nd (4) Four Adaay (3.33/1 +26%)
Four Adaay

3.33/1(+26%)
(4) Four Adaay 3.33/1, 9/2, shaped as if better for the run when seventh of 17 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft) on return 24 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark.
Didn't live up to market billing on return but conditions to suit & she's on a fair mark.

Firenze Rosa

5.5/1(+61%)
(6) Firenze Rosa 5.5/1, C&D winner. 28/1, first run since leaving John Bridger when creditable second of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) on return 7 days ago. This more competitive.
Conditions to suit and she ran well on her return; classier opponents today though.

Bezzas Lad

3.33/1(-11%)
(3) Bezzas Lad 3.33/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 8/1) 5 days ago, collared only by one in equally fine form. Should make another bold bid from the front back on turf.
In good form on AW and he could take some pegging back returned to 5f; major player.
5th
5th (2) Stone Circle (4.5/1 -64%)
Stone Circle

4.5/1(-64%)
(2) Stone Circle 4.5/1, Three wins from 13 runs last year. 10/1, won 8-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, heavy) on return 16 days ago. Should go well again.
Game effort to make a winning return at Yarmouth last month; big player despite a 2lb rise.
6th
6th (5) Bethersden Boy (16/1 +11%)
Bethersden Boy

16/1(+11%)
(5) Bethersden Boy 16/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.
Ran poorly the last twice; 1-1 on soft ground but he does have something to prove for now.
LTO Selection:

14:09 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 2.75/1 (2) STONE CIRCLE and 3/1 (3) BEZZAS LAD are the most likely to do well. 2.75/1 (2) STONE CIRCLE won its last race and has three wins from 13 runs last year, while 3/1 (3) BEZZAS LAD is in good form on all-weather tracks and could take some pegging back on turf. They are both shortlisted and big players in their respective races.

The fact that STONE CIRCLE ran on strongly to get up close home on soft ground at Yarmouth bodes well for the testing conditions expected here, and if jockey Joe Bradnam can find him some cover in this small field then he may be able to follow up. Bezzas Lad has been consistent on the all-weather but is yet to win on this sort of going, while Firenze Rosa runs from 1lb out of the handicap but can only improve from her first start of 2023.

ANTIPHON shaped as if about to hit peak form when fourth behind Stone Circle at Yarmouth so is taken to come out on top this time back on his last winning mark. The thriving Bezzas Lad also needs considering.

Four Adaay can build on her reappearance but BEZZAS LAD (nap) has been in good form on AW and may take some pegging back.

Tailed off in one run for Brian Meehan 13 months ago; new yard try a hood.
LTO Selection:

14:44 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, it seems that 1.38/1 (2) PUMALIN PARK and 1.38/1 (8) ROYAL CAPE have the best chance of performing well in their next race. 1.38/1 (2) PUMALIN PARK has recently won and is showing potential, while 1.38/1 (8) ROYAL CAPE has shown improvement in previous races and has encouraging pedigree. The other horses mentioned have either not performed well in previous races or require significant improvement to be competitive.

PUMALIN PARK scored at Lingfield on his second career start, having improved a fair amount from his sole juvenile effort. He may have only won by less than a length, but the son of Exceed And Excel could be called the winner a long way out and may have more to offer. Royal Cape was a head second at Kempton last month and could also go well, leaving the gelded Abravaggio as an interesting alternative.

This is very likely to develop into a match between ROYAL CAPE and Pumalin Park and the 7 lb the former receives from the penalised winner may prove decisive.

Pumalin Park won cosily at Lingfield recently but he may find the concession of 7lb to ROYAL CAPE beyond him.

(1) Sparks Fly 1.1/1, Promising sort. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy, 7/2) 7 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Carries penalty. Well treated.

(9) Penny Be 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving John Bridger.
No progress for handicapping the last twice; new trip/ground need to have a major impact.
LTO Selection:

15:19 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

0.8/1 (1) SPARKS FLY is the most likely to do well, having won last week and being well-treated under a penalty.

Twilight Guest disappointed when only sixth at Yarmouth but connections try cheekpieces here and if they improve him at all, he could have a big say. Bletchley Storm ran on into second after a poor start at Nottingham and may also get involved, but SPARKS FLY is preferred. She does have to carry a 6lb penalty for her recent success, but as that was over C&D on similar ground where she won very easily, a follow-up seems on the cards.

SPARKS FLY relished the increased emphasis on stamina when showing much-improved form to get off the mark over C&D last week and looks well treated under a penalty. Bletchley Storm took a step forward upped in trip on handicap/turf debut when second at Nottingham so is the obvious threat with further improvement likely, with Angel of Antrim best of the others.

Sparks Fly is the obvious starting point but BLETCHLEY STORM isn't fully exposed and could take another step forward this time.

Last 3 wins have come over C&D; sharper for last month's return; one to take seriously.

(4) The Green Man 6.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. Only ninth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 12 days ago. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort.
This is weaker than last time but there is a concern over the suitability of the ground.

Three-time winner; off since a poor run in September; 6f on slow ground may stretch him.

Two C&D wins last summer; on good mark but effectiveness on this ground still to be proven.
6th
6th (3) Tolstoy (5.5/1 -175%)
Tolstoy

5.5/1(-175%)
(3) Tolstoy 5.5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but he didn't enjoy a clear passage when eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago. Can make presence felt.
Handicapped to win and in form but this may not be run to suit him.
LTO Selection:

15:54 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 5/1 (6) INDIAN CREAK seems like a strong contender as they have won three times over the C&D and are sharper for their last month's return to racing. They also have room for improvement after fading sixth in their last race. 3/1 (5) TYGER BAY is also a solid choice due to their good winter on the AW and recent second place over C&D, as well as being a four-time winner last year. 2.25/1 (3) TOLSTOY Handicapped has a good form and is in form, but may not suit the race, while 6/1 (4) THE GREEN MAN has some concerns over the suitability of the ground. 5/1 (1) LEQUINTO has a good mark but the effectiveness on the ground is still to be proven, and 12/1 (2) AMAZONIAN DREAM has been off since a poor run in September and the slow ground may stretch them.

Tyger Bay performed with credit when filling the runner-up spot over C&D and runs off the same mark in very similar conditions, but he could play second fiddle to LEQUINTO. The six-year-old makes his return to turf after running in warmer handicaps on the all-weather and he could be fairly treated, having won off 3lb higher over C&D last July. Another to consider is The Green Man, who will find this a much easier task than Newmarket last time.

LEQUINTO didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Lingfield last time so this C&D winner is taken to capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of Tolstoy, who also wasn't seen to best effect there on his most recent outing. Tyger Bay and Indian Creak can both have a say too in an open handicap.

Handicap debut last time can be forgiven (lots went wrong); promise on soft; unexposed.
LTO Selection:

16:29 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, 2.13/1 (3) SHAMEKH and 4/1 (1) CROESO CYMRAEG seem to be well-respected on their handicap/yard debut and returning from a good performance respectively, suggesting they may have a good chance of performing well. 8/1 (6) JEAN DANJOU is also noted as unexposed with potential, despite a poor run in its last race.

CROESO CYMRAEG hit the crossbar in these conditions over further at Leicester last time after returning from a break, and the gelding has been left on the same mark. He is likely to be thereabouts once more, especially being proven on testing ground. The same can't be said for Shamekh, who makes his handicap debut after shedding his maiden tag when last seen at Leicester over 7f, but he remains open to improvement. Fast Steps has an eye-catching booking in Oisin Murphy and could go well on his first run of the season.

A case can be made for most of these but CROESO CYMRAEG made a promising return when runner-up at Leicester and can go one better now off an easing mark. James Ferguson's new recruit Shamekh is feared most despite having an absence to overcome with In The Breeze and Jean Danjou two more to consider.

Angels Roc

10/1(+55%)
(8) Angels Roc 10/1, 33/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago, very slowly away. Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort.
Of interest on last season's 1m2f best; sharper for last month's return; not discounted.
LTO Selection:

17:04 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 5/1 (7) MR ZEE seems to be the most likely to perform well, having won a handicap at the same C&D two weeks ago and finding plenty. 4/1 (1) CHAGALL also has a good chance, having resumed winning ways at Lingfield in March and taking his form up a notch since. 10/1 (4) SILVER BUBBLE and 12/1 (2) GOLD SOUK also have potential to perform well, with 10/1 (4) SILVER BUBBLE having won four times last year and 12/1 (2) GOLD SOUK having had a game win at Bath last month.

MR ZEE appeared revitalised by a short break and the switch to the turf when recently making all over C&D and Michael Blake's gelding could go in again off only 2lb higher in the ratings. Chagall has been a model of consistency of late and he may have more to offer now returned to 1m2f. Albus Anne enjoys a 1lb pull with the selection for last month's encounter and she should be in the mix once again.

CHAGALL comes here at the top of his game and only 1 lb higher than when an excellent recent Yarmouth second so gets the vote in an open handicap. Mr Zee (second choice) and Albus Anne fought out a good finish over C&D last time and can both have a say too. Silver Bubble looks set to build on her reappearance Southwell sixth and completes the shortlist.

(2) Enochdhu 7.5/1, Course winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Last of 4 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 17/2) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Others make more appeal.
2 wins as a 2yo, incl here; sharper for last month's return; still on fair mark; ground?.

(4) Greased Lightning 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. 17/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly up in trip and would be a threat off this reduced mark if able to get back on track.
Struggled since handicapping; down in weights but risky with trip/ground concerns.

(6) Graham 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in maiden (100/1) at Kempton (11f) when last seen in December. Gelded since and he could be about to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap.
From a good middle-distance family and should leave his 2yo form well behind him this year.

Bred to be smart and likely to leave last season's efforts well behind him.

(1) Alumnus 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 5 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and should be suited by the extra yardage here, so he's worth considering.
Didn't look straightforward when 2nd on h'cap debut (1m2f, AW); new trip/headgear can help.

(5) Bridge 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, third of 5 in nursery at Kempton (8f). Off 6 months and could have a part to play if his stamina passes the test now upped in trip.
Progressed with each 2yo run; bred to stay but needs improvement for the longer trip.
LTO Selection:

17:39 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (1) ALUMNUS and 7/1 (2) ENOCHDHU appear to be the strongest contenders. 3.5/1 (1) ALUMNUS has been performing well in previous races and seems suited for the extra yardage in this handicap. 7/1 (2) ENOCHDHU has a good track record and, despite a recent weaker performance, could potentially bounce back to form. 7.5/1 (6) GRAHAM and 12/1 (3) MANUELITO also have some potential, but may need to show improvement before becoming serious contenders.

Alumnus proved no match for an easy winner when runner-up over 1m2f at Newcastle in March, but the son of Kendargent could have more to offer stepping up in distance. The stoutly-bred BRIDGE, however, makes slightly more appeal on his return and he likely found a mile at Kempton in October on the sharp side. Galilaeus shouldn't be underestimated now entering handicaps, with a subsequent gelding procedure since his last appearance in November likely to aid his cause.

Though GRAHAM failed to pull up any trees in 3 starts at the backend of last year, it's likely that he will be seen in an altogether better light now handicapping off a lowly opening mark. Next on the list is Alumnus, who will be a big threat if building on his Newcastle second back on turf with cheekpieces enlisted. Bridge is bred to appreciate this step up in trip and shouldn't be far away, while Greased Lightning, who also moves up in trip, is also worth a second look.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
