Races & Results Monday 14th October 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Maid In Chelsea 13/8, Promising sort. 5/2, won 7-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago with Mockirr (7 lb pull) just over 2 lengths adrift in third. Should have more to offer and return to turf shouldn't be an issue given that she shaped well over 6f here on debut in June, albeit on faster ground. Showed promise here in June, then won at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; warrants respect.

2nd (2) (9/4 -88%) Mockirr

9/4(-88%)
(2) Mockirr 9/4, Twice-raced maiden. 13/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Maid In Chelsea in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago. Appeals as the type to continue to progress with racing and he's a big player. Just over 2l behind Maid In Chelsea at Wolverhampton; gets a 7lb pull with that rival.

3rd (3) (13/8 +68%) Space Trooper
1.625
13/8(+68%)
(3) Space Trooper 13/8, Once-raced maiden. Third of 7 in maiden (16/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 25 days ago. As a half-brother to the yard's smart sprinter Apollo One he may well take this drop in trip in his stride, but a good deal more will be needed if he's to rustle the feathers of the other two. Promising third in 1m maiden at Chelmsford; has some speed in pedigree; interesting.

13:42 Windsor Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Maid In Chelsea is penalised for a cosy success at Wolverhampton when MOCKIRR was back in third. The latter has a bit to find on the bare form, but a 7lb turnaround at the weights helps and William Haggas' inmate will likely improve on his second start after wind surgery. Space Trooper failed to get a clear run when third at Chelmsford on debut and improvement looks likely.
MOCKIRR is taken to turn the tables on his Wolverhampton conqueror Maid In Chelsea, now meeting that rival on 8 lb better terms compared to when finishing just over 2 lengths adrift of her at the aforementioned track a fortnight ago. Space Trooper should be wiser following his belated debut at Chelmsford last month but while this drop back in trip may not be a bad move, he will need to take a big step forward in order to trouble his two rivals.
The rematch between Maid In Chelsea and Mockirr could go either way. SPACE TROOPER is interesting, assuming he copes with 5f.
(1) Bama Lama 10/11, Course winner. 7/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 5 days ago. Conditions won't be a problem and she will have every chance if back to her best. Consistent 2024 record includes two wins; has plenty of Windsor form; solid.

2nd (4) (7/2 -17%) Firenze Rosa
3.5
7/2(-17%)
(4) Firenze Rosa 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in July. Blinkered for 1st time, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, heavy, 5/1) 4 days ago. Won't have any problem with underfoot conditions but this 9-y-o hasn't been at her best of late. Won a weak race in July; could go well in this uncompetitive affair.

3rd (3) (12/1 -100%) Apple A Dey
12
12/1(-100%)
(3) Apple A Dey 12/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 16/1) 12 days ago. Needs to get back on track but her mark is now on the slide and she performed well on her sole previous effort on soft ground in an Irish maiden last season. Has failed to back up her February effort; something to prove.

4th (5) (10/1 +0%) Haveagobeau

10/1(+0%)
(5) Haveagobeau 10/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Ninth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (5f, soft) 13 days ago and he looks set for another struggle. Ran well over C&D two starts ago but remains an inconsistent maiden.
5th
2
5th (2) (4/1 -78%) Tilsworth Ony Ta
4
4/1(-78%)
(2) Tilsworth Ony Ta 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in July. Fourth of 5 in handicap (5/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 27 days ago. Majority of turf form is on good/good to firm but she appeared to handle testing conditions when fourth at Nottingham last autumn, so the forecast soft ground shouldn't be an issue. Has possibilities in this weak contest with Rossa Ryan up for first time.
14:12 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BAMA LAMA wasn't at her best on the testing going last time, but genuine soft ground is not a problem for Rod Millman's mare. Last month's second over course and distance offers encouragement that she'll be winning off her current mark soon and she gets another chance. It was soft underfoot when Firenze Rosa scored at Brighton in July and she's noted along with Tilsworth Ony Ta.
A chance is taken on APPLE A DEY, who has failed to build on the promise of her debut for this yard in two subsequent starts, but she has swiftly dropped 5 lb in the weights and it's worth noting that the best of her three efforts for Henry De Bromhead in Ireland last season was when third in a soft-ground Tipperary maiden. Tilsworth Ony Ta is feared most ahead of Bama Lama.
Off a workable mark and with Rossa Ryan on board, TILSWORTH ONY TA is preferred. Consistent Bama Lama is feared most.
(8) Isabella Castile 11/2, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, third of 4 in conditions stakes at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. This drop back to 6f looks a good move and she's a leading contender here. Both starts at Newbury, better effort when 2l third in conditions race latest; good chance.

2nd (4) (28/1 -180%) Bee My Honey
28
28/1(-180%)
(4) Bee My Honey 28/1, Foaled January 13. 40,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Closely related to winner up to 5.3f Broadhaven Honey and half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f winner High Accolade and 7f winner Embarked. Watch the betting for clues. 40,000gns yearling; sibling to four winners; yard has modest strike-rate with 2yos in 2024.

3rd (1) (10/1 -150%) Bacor
10
10/1(-150%)
(1) Bacor 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ripon in June. Bit below form third of 9 in novice (7/2) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) when last seen in July. Should go well if handling conditions but may prove vulnerable under a penalty. Off since July; one of the main players on best 5f form, namely soft-ground win at Ripon.

4th (7) (200/1 -203%) Fiery Angel
200
200/1(-203%)
(7) Fiery Angel 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 7 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Hard to warm to. Combination of new surface and hood needs to make a difference.
5th

5th (2) (12/1 +64%) All Too Beautiful
12
12/1(+64%)
(2) All Too Beautiful 12/1, Foaled April 10. Bated Breath filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 5.5f Got To Love A Grey and 1m-10.5f winner Doctor Ron, both useful. Entitled to come on for the run. Bated Breath half-sister to four winners; stable is only 1-18 with 2yos this term.
6th

6th (5) (25/1 -257%) Bintshuaa
25
25/1(-257%)
(5) Bintshuaa 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/2, fifth of 7 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and she needs to find some improvement. Modest effort last time; fitting of tongue-tie is a possible source of improvement.
7th
11
7th (11) (8/11 +71%) Rikissa
0.727273
8/11(+71%)
(11) Rikissa 8/11, Once-raced maiden. Third of 11 in maiden at Newbury (7f, soft, 7/4) on debut 39 days ago. Hails from a yard in fine form, including with its 2-y-os, and she is very high on the list with improvement likely down in trip here. Related to two useful mudlarks; duly showed promise in soft-ground event at Newbury.
8th
13
8th (13) (16/1 +20%) Terramindar
16
16/1(+20%)
(13) Terramindar 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, eighth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago. It will likely be in handicaps where she is seen in a better light. Needs to improve a good deal on her 7f AW efforts.
9th
3
9th (3) (100/1 -52%) Apple's Angel
100
100/1(-52%)
(3) Apple's Angel 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in novice at this course (5.1f, good, 50/1) 28 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps later on. Ran to a meagre RPR here last time.
10th
6
10th (6) (100/1 -100%) Dreambird Dolly
100
100/1(-100%)
(6) Dreambird Dolly 100/1, Foaled March 3. Tasleet filly. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f/5.3f winner). Yard rarely strikes with 2-y-o newcomers and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion. Debutante who is from a family that has served her trainer well; check the betting.
11th
12
11th (12) (5/1 +29%) Sychell
5
5/1(+29%)
(12) Sychell 5/1, Foaled March 25. Kodiac filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 8.6f Yonafis and useful winner up to 1¼m Nearooz. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner). Appealing on paper and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. Kodiac half-sister to four winners; a few of her relatives scored on debut; interesting.
12th
9
12th (9) (200/1 -203%) Leading Star Girl
200
200/1(-203%)
(9) Leading Star Girl 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f, 125/1) on debut in May. Readily passed over. Absent since her inauspicious effort at Kempton five months ago.
13th
10
13th (10) (28/1 -100%) On A Vespa
28
28/1(-100%)
(10) On A Vespa 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 66/1) 60 days ago. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps in due course. Latest effort suggests this return to 6f will suit; could go well.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bacor carries a penalty for making all over the minimum trip at Ripon in June. Another bold bid from the front looks likely, but ISABELLA CASTILE makes more appeal. Jack Channon's filly ran out of steam in the closing stages when third over 7f at Newbury and returns to this shorter trip with solid claims. Bintshuaa may improve fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time, while All Too Beautiful and Sychell are newcomers to note.
The early signs are that it was a decent Newbury maiden in which RIKISSA was third on debut last month and, with this drop to 6f unlikely to be an issue and improvement on the cards, she looks the way to go with her yard in fine form. Isabella Castile left her debut form behind when third in a four-runner conditions race at that Berkshire venue and she is feared most ahead of newcomer Sychell and the penalised Bacor.
Attractively bred newcomer SYCHELL gets the vote. Rikissa has to be feared, especially granted muddy conditions.
(3) Balmoral Lady 11/4, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 15/2) 13 days ago. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she's likely to make her presence felt once again. Only made her debut in May; has won two of her last five races; can improve again.
2
4
2nd (4) (9/1 -50%) Kiss And Run
9
9/1(-50%)
(4) Kiss And Run 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in August. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 30 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Faustus. Twice beaten since Goodwood win and has no margin for error off this mark.
3
7
3rd (7) (16/1 -256%) Four Adaay
16
16/1(-256%)
(7) Four Adaay 16/1, 10/3, won 7-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 31 days ago. 5 lb rise means that more will be needed but she's largely reliable and should again run her race. Seventh career success when overcoming some trouble to win narrowly at Sandown.
4
8
4th (8) (11/2 +75%) Punchbowl Flyer
5.5
11/2(+75%)
(8) Punchbowl Flyer 11/2, Course winner. Twenty-six runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Likely to struggle once more. Stuck on a losing run and should have run better last time at Pontefract.
5th
5
5th (5) (11/4 +31%) Thankuappreciate
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(5) Thankuappreciate 11/4, One win from 24 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2022. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Chester (5.5f, soft) 23 days ago and another bold show is anticipated. Never won a handicap but nearly put that right last time at Chester on good to soft.
6th
2
6th (2) (9/2 +31%) Faustus
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(2) Faustus 9/2, Latest win at Newbury in August. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good, 14/1) 9 days ago. Now 1 lb lower in a lower-grade handicap and conditions won't be an issue, so he's dangerous to discount. Good start for this yard until below par last time at Ascot and that was in a better race.
7th
6
7th (6) (12/1 -167%) Level Up
12
12/1(-167%)
(6) Level Up 12/1, Three wins from 16 runs this year, the latest at Salisbury in August. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Bath (5f, good) 30 days ago. Merits consideration. Consistent; narrowly gave best to a well-handicapped winner at Bath a month ago.
8th
1
8th (1) (25/1 -108%) Jacquelina
25
25/1(-108%)
(1) Jacquelina 25/1, C&D winner. 6 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in June. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 9 days ago. She has enjoyed a terrific campaign but the handicapper may have caught up with her. Has climbed the weights for winning Class 6s but this is easier than at Ascot last time.
15:12 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A high draw can be helpful here on soft ground and if that holds true, then BALMORAL LADY has to be of interest. A winner on heavy ground at Bath last time, she has been upped 3lb for that but may be the best suited to the conditions. Jacquelina drops in class after an 11th at Ascot and cannot be overlooked, but Four Adaay is the bigger danger under Neil Callan.
THANKUAPPRECIATE has yet to add to his 2-y-o Ripon novice success but he appears ready to put that right judged on last month's near-miss off a similar mark at Chester. He is proven on slow ground and was a good second on his sole previous visit here. Faustus and Level Up rate the main dangers in that order of preference, while last-time-out winners Balmoral Lady and Four Adaay also merit respect in this competitive contest.
Most of these have chances but BALMORAL LADY (nap) only made her debut in May and won in the manner of an improver at Bath.
(1) Artavian 7/4, Good second of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, good, 10/1) 28 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better, provided the forecast slower ground doesn't hinder him. Eight-race maiden; went close in higher grade here most recently; possibilities.
2
8
2nd (8) (9/1 +25%) Spook
9
9/1(+25%)
(8) Spook 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, first run since leaving Charlie Johnston when ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. Five-race maiden; may benefit from the return to turf; second run for new yard.
3
6
3rd (6) (6/1 +14%) Lhebayeb
6
6/1(+14%)
(6) Lhebayeb 6/1, Course winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 16/1) 13 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Down to a workable mark and she looks competitive on form. Clear signs of a return to form last time; won off 4lb higher here last October.
4
12
4th (12) (7/1 +42%) Endofastorm
7
7/1(+42%)
(12) Endofastorm 7/1, Latest win at Bath in September. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Bath (13f, soft) 13 days ago. One to consider. Respectable form at Bath of late; in the mix, provided she takes to Windsor.
5th
2
5th (2) (8/1 -60%) Fravanco
8
8/1(-60%)
(2) Fravanco 8/1, 11/4, won 11-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 24 days ago, better placed than most. 0-7 on turf and he looks vulnerable under these conditions off a 4 lb higher mark. No certainty to follow up his Kempton AW win, with turf record far from solid.
6th
3
6th (3) (28/1 -100%) Anisoptera
28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Anisoptera 28/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 8/1) 19 days ago. Down in trip and she's essentially opposable returned to turf. All wins over 2m on AW; not the percentage call in this scenario.
7th
5
7th (5) (22/1 +45%) Dubai Harbour
22
22/1(+45%)
(5) Dubai Harbour 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip and this 4-y-o needs to take a step forward. Chance depends on whether he improves for new trip.
8th
10
8th (10) (17/2 -21%) Galactic Glow
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(10) Galactic Glow 17/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Blinkers back on and can make his presence felt. On a 17-race losing run but is running respectably at present.
9th
7
9th (7) (8/1 +60%) Snapius
8
8/1(+60%)
(7) Snapius 8/1, Visored for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (13f, soft) 13 days ago. Hard to fancy in current form. Has achieved little in two runs for new yard; well treated on best Irish form.
10th
13
10th (13) (18/1 -64%) Miss Harmony
18
18/1(-64%)
(13) Miss Harmony 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 34 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor sparking a return to form. 0-6 and inconsistent this year; new headgear needs to help.
11th
14
11th (14) (66/1 -32%) Perla Marina
66
66/1(-32%)
(14) Perla Marina 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 125/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she looks set for another struggle. Poor chance on her form over shorter.
15:42 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Fravanco is an obvious option having won last time at Kempton, but he has never placed on turf which has to be a concern. Lhebayeb makes the shortlist having won here on heavy ground over shorter and over this trip at Bath, but ENDOFASTORM is preferred. Third at Bath last time out over further, she has a distance win to her name and seems to handle the ground.
The vote goes to GALACTIC GLOW, who has returned to form of late and he wasn't beaten at all far when fourth over 1¼m at Bath last month. Most of his form has come on good/good to firm but he proved that slow ground holds no terrors for him when runner-up at Nottingham during the spring. Artavian, who was a good second here last month, and Lhebayeb may emerge as the main dangers, while the maiden Change of Fortune also needs considering.
On the back of his good second in a higher grade, ARTAVIAN may well go one better. Lhebayeb is second choice.
(10) Cotswold Cottage 14/1, Well held in minor event/maidens. Significantly upped in trip for handicap debut. Well held in her maidens (1m-1m2f) and wouldn't be the obvious answer on handicap debut.
2
4
2nd (4) (11/4 +39%) Stintino Sunset
2.75
11/4(+39%)
(4) Stintino Sunset 11/4, Ran up to best from a reduced mark when winning 11-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 6 weeks ago, suited by emphasis on speed to lead close home. Can give another good account from just 2 lb higher. Hasn't had many races beyond 1m2f and finished well to lead late on over C&D last month.
3
1
3rd (1) (4/1 -60%) Zambezi Magic
4
4/1(-60%)
(1) Zambezi Magic 4/1, Landed a significant gamble as he notched up his second success from his last 3 starts in 6-runner handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 46 days ago, staying on well. Up 5 lb and remains well treated on old form. Bang in form; raised 5lb for good win last time but has won off higher in the past.
4
5
4th (5) (3/1 +40%) Martin Spirit
3
3/1(+40%)
(5) Martin Spirit 3/1, Opened account on the Flat at Epsom (12f) in July. Has continued in good heart since but had little chance of sustaining such a strong gallop back over hurdles at Fontwell (17.7f, good just under 3 weeks ago. Player on his recent C&D third. Close up over C&D on final Flat appearance and this softer surface won't faze him.
5th
11
5th (11) (10/1 +29%) Make A Scene
10
10/1(+29%)
(11) Make A Scene 10/1, Temperamental sort. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, never threatened when fourth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, heavy) 4 days ago. AW winner; placed on the turf and heavy ground was probably no help four days ago.
6th
12
6th (12) (5/1 +69%) Sapphire Sirocco
5
5/1(+69%)
(12) Sapphire Sirocco 5/1, Never put in the race making handicap debut when fifth of 7 (14/1) at Kempton (12f) just under 7 weeks ago. Still unexposed and interesting to see how she fares in the market. Limited in maidens and was outpaced when fifth of seven on handicap debut on AW.
7th
9
7th (9) (33/1 -136%) Urban Hydrangea
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Urban Hydrangea 33/1, Made no impression but not given at all a hard time when ninth of 10 in maiden (100/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 18 days ago. The type to do better in handicaps so market check advised. Showed a bit on her second start but tailed off either side of that; handicap debut.
8th
7
8th (7) (14/1 +44%) Barafundle Bay
14
14/1(+44%)
(7) Barafundle Bay 14/1, C&D winner in June is very much a standout. 50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 82 days ago. Hopes pinned on a return to this venue. C&D winner in June at 33-1 but she's achieved precious little otherwise.
16:15 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ZAMBEZI MAGIC is an obvious choice despite the burden of top-weight, with two wins and a second from his last three starts including a Ffos Las win on heavy ground. He won't mind the conditions and an added 5lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop him. Stintino Sunset got up late over C&D last month and can go close off 2lb higher, leaving Martin Spirit as a tentative suggestion for third.
ZAMBEZI MAGIC notched up his second success from his last 3 starts at Ffos Las in August and, remaining well treated from 5 lb higher on old form, Bernard Llewellyn's 7-y-o can add another success to his tally at the expense of Drouthy Neebor, who is threatening to come good soon based on recent efforts. Martin Spirit, Sapphire Sirocco and Stintino Sunset can fight out minor honours.
A lot of these have questions to answer on various counts but not the in-form ZAMBEZI MAGIC who remains on a workable mark.
(8) The Amazon 9/2, Course winner in April. Took a big step back in the right direction when second of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 33 days ago, finishing well after forced to switch entering final 1f. Could build on that again. Gelded prior to bouncing back last time; interesting back at the scene of his spring win.

2nd (1) (6/4 +40%) Desperate Dan
1.5
6/4(+40%)
(1) Desperate Dan 6/4, Progressed again to easily get off the mark in 11-runner handicap (7/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 5 days ago, leading around 2f out. Carries penalty and holds major claims if in the same form. Off the mark with emphatic win at Nottingham last week and is open to further progress.

(14) Albus Anne 9/2, Proved better than ever as she made it 2 wins from as many starts since the hood was fitted in 14-runner handicap at Bath (8f, soft) just under 2 weeks ago, leading final 1f then asserting for hands-and-heels riding. Big shout in hat-trick bid up another 5 lb. Back up in grade but hard to dismiss, being 2-2 (Bath wins) since wearing a hood.

9/2(+44%)
(2) Dreamrocker 9/2, Latest win at Ascot in July. Wasn't disgraced but raced indolently when seventh of 10 in handicap (5/2) at Sandown (8f, good) 26 days ago, nearest finish. Questions about her attitude to answer so percentage call is to look elsewhere. Disappointing last time but now drops back in grade and remains of interest.

5th (5) (13/2 +54%) Rockstar Icon
6.5
13/2(+54%)
(5) Rockstar Icon 13/2, 7/1 and blinkered for 1st time, made little impression when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Inconsistent this term; chance depends on how well he responds to tongue-tie.

6th (9) (66/1 -313%) Tortured Soul

66/1(-313%)
(9) Tortured Soul 66/1, 5 wins from 10 runs this year. Better for run when ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 33/1) 24 days ago. Down in trip. Should be much closer to form here. All wins at 1m3f/1m4f on AW; enough to prove back over 1m.

7th (6) (50/1 -150%) Throne Hall

50/1(-150%)
(6) Throne Hall 50/1, Winner over hurdles in Sweden last month but well-beaten ninth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Dropped another 3 lb but best watched. Campaigned mostly over further; drop back to 1m looks a negative.
8th

8th (3) (33/1 -106%) Sedgemoor
33
33/1(-106%)
(3) Sedgemoor 33/1, Winner at Haydock in June. Failed to come on for recent run when ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 16/1) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Registered his June win in Class 5; may benefit from the return to this level.

100/1(-100%)
(13) Currumbin 100/1, Fared no better than on stable debut when last of 6 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good, 66/1) 45 days ago. Ex-Irish maiden; has failed to sparkle for new yard.

22/1(-57%)
(11) Fihrayn 22/1, Could perform only respectably having had the run of the race when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 23 days ago. Not out of things back on turf. Ties in with King David on one piece of form but remains a maiden.

150/1(-275%)
(12) Blue Yonder 150/1, Latest win at Newbury in June. Has failed to beat a rival in 4 starts since so can only be watched. All wins at about 1m2f; badly out of sorts since last success.
16:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having improved with each run since a gelding operation in late July, DESPERATE DAN opened his account in emphatic fashion at Nottingham five days ago. The three-year-old looks more than capable of defying a 6lb penalty and can double up. Although the hat-trick seeking Albus Anne requires a career best, she isn't taken lightly and can put up the most resistance to the selection, ahead of The Amazon.
The hat-trick beckons for ALBUS ANNE, who hasn't looked back since a hood went on and had plenty up her sleeve when scooting clear at Bath just under a fortnight ago. She can get the better of Desperate Dan, who progressed again to get off the mark at Nottingham last week and has major claims turned out under a penalty. The Amazon and King David both look interesting too, so they round off the shortlist.
Desperate Dan has to be feared but THE AMAZON is an interesting alternative returned to the scene of his spring win.
(1) World Of Darcy 4/1, 33/1, took advantage of a plummeting mark when winning 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last week, leading under 2f out. 6 lb penalty to carry and remains well treated on old form. Sure to go close provided this doesn't come too soon. Won at Yarmouth last week, emerging from a spell in the doldrums; major player.

2nd (9) (5/1 +29%) Gherkin

5/1(+29%)
(9) Gherkin 5/1, Course winner. Too free when seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 8/1) 38 days ago, caught wide with no cover. 2-3 on soft, including a Windsor win; interesting granted that surface.

3rd (10) (5/1 +75%) Roman Spring

5/1(+75%)
(10) Roman Spring 5/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, back to form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 8/1) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Still a maiden and again looks set for minor honours at best.

4th (3) (17/2 +39%) Art Fantastique
8.5
17/2(+39%)
(3) Art Fantastique 17/2, C&D winner. 11/1, possibly still needed the run when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. May benefit from this return to Windsor, having won over C&D as a 2yo.
5th

5th (6) (10/1 -43%) Thunderous Love
10
10/1(-43%)
(6) Thunderous Love 10/1, 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, turned in her best effort since scoring at Salisbury in the spring when second of 9 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 27 days ago, suited by way race developed. Player if building on that. Step back in right direction with cheekpieces fitted last time; interesting.
6th

6th (5) (14/1 -40%) Crocus Time
14
14/1(-40%)
(5) Crocus Time 14/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 50/1, ran better than for a while when second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Still a maiden; inconsistent this year; not sure to back up latest effort.
7th

7th (11) (33/1 +18%) Company Minx

33/1(+18%)
(11) Company Minx 33/1, Ran no sort of race after 8 weeks off when last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 80/1) 16 days ago. Holds very weak claims on 2024 form.
8th

8th (7) (25/1 -108%) Milliethemollie
25
25/1(-108%)
(7) Milliethemollie 25/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 17/2, again ran below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (5.1f, good) 4 weeks ago. Others more convincing. Ex-Irish; runner-up four times for current yard; below par the last twice.
9th

9th (2) (20/1 -100%) All In The Hips
20
20/1(-100%)
(2) All In The Hips 20/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Shaped as if just in need of the run when fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) just under 7 weeks ago. Raced mostly on AW in 2024; meagre RPRs in her two turf attempts this year.
10th

10th (8) (11/4 +21%) Tilsworth Turf
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(8) Tilsworth Turf 11/4, 18/1, showed improved form returned to sprinting when winning 9-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago, soon clear. 6 lb higher and isn't an obvious type to follow up. Scored comfortably at Ripon last month, taking record on soft going to 2-3.
17:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A switch to softer ground conditions saw Tilsworth Turf record a second career victory at Ripon last month. A 6lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the four-year-old, but penalised winner WORLD OF DARCY edges the vote. John Ryan's charge also appreciated a return to turf when capitalising on a career-low mark at Yarmouth last week and that form may prove slightly stronger. Crocus Time is next best.
The first port of call is WORLD OF DARCY, who took advantage of a plummeting mark at Yarmouth last week and John Ryan's 3-y-o remains very well treated on old form under a penalty. Second choice is Thunderous Love, who turned in her best effort since scoring at Salisbury in the spring when runner-up at Brighton last week, with Tilsworth Turf and Crocus Time both fancied to be in the shake-up, too.
Provided he remains in form, WORLD OF DARCY could well defy a penalty. Tilsworth Turf and Thunderous Love are respected.

About U.K Horse Racing
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. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. 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.
