12:12 Windsor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (15/8 +17%) Ma Shantou	1.875 15/8(+17%)	(2) Ma Shantou 15/8, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 5-runner novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, soft, 4/5) 25 days ago, soon clear. Should progress. Solid second (form has substance) on hurdles debut, then won easily at Warwick; respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (1/2 +19%) Excello	0.5 1/2(+19%)	(3) Excello 1/2, Useful form over hurdles and fences at up to 2¾m in France. Second outing for Nicky Henderson when winning a 21f course graduation chase last December. Came unstuck in very strong Cheltenham handicaps but returned to hurdling with good second in a novice at Ascot. Should go one better. Sets a useful standard on best chase form; went close at Ascot on the return to hurdles.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 -33%) Illegal D'ainay	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) Illegal D'ainay 8/1, Runner-up both starts in Irish points in spring 2023 and opened his hurdling account at Plumpton in May. Solid second at Ascot next time but a couple of these rivals look more talented Has proved consistent when completing but is only third-best on ratings in this field.
4	4 4th (4) (150/1 -127%) Lyness Dancer	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) Lyness Dancer 150/1, Behind in a couple of point bumpers and similar story at Warwick on first Rules outing. Up against it on first try at hurdling. Has failed to figure in point/rules bumpers; brings the worst form.

12:12 Windsor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Although he appears a better horse over fences with two chase wins to his name, EXCELLO certainly looks more than capable of scoring in novice hurdle company. Nicky Henderson's charge posted a respectable second on his reappearance over timber at Ascot last month and any improvement is likely to make him difficult to beat. Ma Shantou is rated 11lb inferior to the selection, while also conceding 6lb, but is heading in the right direction after an easy victory at Warwick 25 days ago. The five-year-old is feared most, ahead of fellow penalised winner Illegal D'ainay.

EXCELLO is a useful chaser and, given he's getting weight from his two main rivals, a reproduction of his recent second in an Ascot noice hurdle will likely be enough for him to go one better. Ma Shantou is open to further progress as he gains experience in this sphere and Illegal d'Ainay isn't a forlorn hope.

Jump racing returns to Windsor for the first time in nearly two decades and MA SHANTOU is selected to win this opener.

12:45 Windsor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/2 +44%) Vincenzo	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(3) Vincenzo 9/2, Placed in some good maiden/novice events and made most of good opportunity at Exeter (16.7f) in April. Returned with a good third in Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow but disappointed at Sandown since. Goes chasing now (has scope). Just 1-8 over hurdles but has posted some good efforts in defeat; chase debut today.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +38%) Tedley	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(2) Tedley 5/2, Different proposition since switched to chasing, winning his first 2 starts at Uttoxeter and Wetherby. Runner-up twice since, including when good second at Newbury latest. In the mix. Began chase career with two wins and ran well in defeat on both subsequent outings.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -43%) The Famous Five	5 5/1(-43%)	(4) The Famous Five 5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France who was going the right way over hurdles when last seen, readily landing handicaps at Leicester in January and Bangor in March. Caught the eye after 8 months off at Newton Abbot 2 weeks ago and interesting recruit to chasing. Dual hurdle winner at start of year; ran okay last month, after a break; chase debut today.
4	1 4th (1) (6/5 +4%) Helnwein	1.2 6/5(+4%)	(1) Helnwein 6/5, Useful bumper winner who won twice over hurdles last season, including on handicap bow at Sandown final start, and produced a highly promising first effort in this sphere after 7 months off when second at Warwick, looking the likely winner until the lack of a recent run told. Sure to improve. Very useful novice hurdler last season and made good start to chasing career last month.
5th	5 5th (5) (25/1 -150%) Doc Mccoy	25 25/1(-150%)	(5) Doc Mccoy 25/1, Impressive winner on sole start in points and successful start to hurdle career at Huntingdon (19.5f) on return in October. Struggled under a penalty next 2 starts, however, and opening mark looks a stiff one on chase bow. Impressed on point debut in 2022 and was a hurdle winner last season; chase debut today.

12:45 Windsor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Helnwein caught the eye on his only start over fences when second at Warwick, where he was produced from off the pace by Tom Cannon to hit the front before weakening close home. He can go well with that run under his belt but Alan King's gelding has to give 1lb to the more experienced TEDLEY, whose jockey claims a further 7lb. Two wins and two seconds over the larger obstacles proves he has the ability and that may be all he needs, while Doc McCoy might be the one to follow them home.

HELNWEIN continued his progress switched to fences when making a highly promising return at Warwick and appeals as the most likely winner. Tedley continued his good start over fences when second at Newbury and is feared most.

This looks good for HELNWEIN, who ended last season with an excellent hurdle win and bumped into a thriving mare on his chase debut.

13:20 Windsor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +0%) Starcrossed Lover	4 4/1(+0%)	(8) Starcrossed Lover 4/1, Chased home Belloccio in a 2m Punchestown maiden hurdle on debut in May. Bit disappointing when a well-held third in a Downpatrick bumper the following month but that first run was promising. Should play a part on first outing for new trainer Neil Mulholland. Raced twice for Colm Murphy, better effort on debut; leading chance on that form.
2	11 2nd (11) (4/6 +47%) La Pinsonniere	0.666667 4/6(+47%)	(11) La Pinsonniere 4/6, Showed useful form at her best in France for Francois Nicolle last season and sets a good standard for a race like this now starting out for Nicky Henderson. Consistent five-race maiden in France and has notable form; respected on British debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +25%) French Emperor	6 6/1(+25%)	(4) French Emperor 6/1, £76,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who offered plenty to work on when third in a 2m Lingfield novice on his hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Has shown ability in Irish point and Lingfield novice hurdle; still open to improvement.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -13%) Realistic Optimism	18 18/1(-13%)	(7) Realistic Optimism 18/1, Fairly useful bumper winner in Ireland in 2022 but has performed to only a modest level in 2 hurdles for this yard since returning from a long absence. May be working his way back to form; one of the main players on Irish bumper figures.
5th	2 5th (2) (20/1 -25%) C'est Different	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) C'est Different 20/1, 17/2, faded to finish a remote sixth in a Chepstow bumper 7 weeks ago. Might strip fitter now but would need to see market support to consider now hurdling. Midfield in Chepstow bumper, seeming to need the run; may do better.
6th	6 6th (6) (18/1 -13%) Mon Kaplais	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Mon Kaplais 18/1, Hinted at ability in maiden hurdles at Chepstow and Newbury last month whilst looking more one for the longer term. Fared better at Newbury last time and could take another step forward.
7th	5 7th (5) (66/1 -164%) High Court Judge	66 66/1(-164%)	(5) High Court Judge 66/1, With a good stable but exposed as a modest performer on the Flat so it'd be a bit of a surprise were he up to making a winning start to his hurdle career here. Recent AW Flat form is modest; brings limited potential to this code.
8th	12 8th (12) (150/1 -50%) Charles Morin	150 150/1(-50%)	(12) Charles Morin 150/1, Modest handicapper on Flat and well held in a pair of Kempton juvenile hurdles this autumn. Booked for another struggle. Comfortably held in juvenile hurdles at Kempton since switched to this code.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (50/1 -150%) Flimsy Nosebag	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) Flimsy Nosebag 50/1, Fair form in bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles. Mixed results in three bumpers; has ability but doesn't look entirely solid.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (66/1 -100%) Willoughby Cleeve	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Willoughby Cleeve 66/1, Pitched into a listed bumper on his Ascot debut last December and finished well held. Best watched unless the betting vibes are strong now switching to hurdles on return. Absent since trailing home last in Listed bumper at Ascot nearly a year ago.
1	1 \|RO\| (1) (12/1 -71%) Boston Boy	12 12/1(-71%)	(1) Boston Boy 12/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Failed to see things out on his first 3 starts under Rules but this 5-y-o was still bang there when running out at the second-last in a 20.5f Leicester maiden hurdle last month. Place possibilities. Still in with a chance when running out two flights from home at Leicester last time.

13:20 Windsor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Starcrossed Lover was a promising second in a Punchestown hurdle on his Irish debut before following that up with a bumper third at Downpatrick. He looks interesting ahead of his first start for Neil Mulholland, alongside French Emperor after his close-up third at Lingfield where he was in with every chance. Both can go well, but French import LA PINSONNIERE raced and placed in far better company at home and could make a winning debut for the Nicky Henderson yard judged on that level of performance.

French-recruit LA PINSONNIERE sets the bar pretty high for a race like this and can make a winning start for the Nicky Henderson yard. French Emperor made a promising start to his hurdle career at Lingfield recently and can fight it out for minor honours with Starcrossed Lover, a new recruit for the Neil Mulholland stable, and Boston Boy.

Ex-Irish STARCROSSED LOVER (narrowly preferred) and ex-French La Pinsonniere are the biggest players on hurdles form.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -71%) Ballycamus	6 6/1(-71%)	(3) Ballycamus 6/1, Made a successful debut over fences at Chepstow a year ago and added to his tally at Warwick the following month. Some good efforts in defeat since and better for return third at Warwick last month. In the mix. Largely consistent; respectable third at Warwick most recently; solid claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/2 +68%) Minella Blueway	3.5 7/2(+68%)	(5) Minella Blueway 7/2, Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark under Rules when easily landing Chepstow maiden hurdle (19.5f) in December. Well held switched to fences both starts this season, however. Modest efforts since switched to chasing; well treated on best hurdles form.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 0%) Jeffery's Cross	4 4/1(0%)	(4) Jeffery's Cross 4/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who took his form up a notch when gaining a first win over fences in 14-runner handicap at Haydock in April 2023. Below form next time and not seen since (off 19 months) but worth monitoring in the betting on return. Fighting chance, provided his consistency is maintained on return from layoff.
4	2 4th (2) (4/5 +47%) Tanganyika	0.8 4/5(+47%)	(2) Tanganyika 4/5, Enjoyed a good season over hurdles, scoring at Bangor and at Newbury. Decent start to chasing when fifth at Bangor on return and entitled to progress. Big shout in this weaker race. Ran promisingly over 2m4f on chase debut; return to 3m looks ideal; interesting.
5th	1 5th (1) (28/1 -75%) Cap Du Nord	28 28/1(-75%)	(1) Cap Du Nord 28/1, Resumed winning ways at Perth in July. Below par since, however, so easy enough to look elsewhere (6 of his 9 chase wins have come in February or March). Registered his most recent win off this mark in July; out of form since.

13:55 Windsor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

JEFFERY'S CROSS has been absent since finishing second at odds-on in May 2023, but with the Skelton team in such good form it may be worth risking his race fitness as he returns to action off 3lb lower in the handicap. He won a better race at Haydock in April 2023 and a repeat of that may be enough here. Cap Du Nord's last success was off this mark in July and he could go close despite the burden of top-weight, while Ballycamus wasn't beaten far at Warwick and could also go well back up in trip.

TANGANYIKA shaped well in a stronger race than this on his chase bow/comeback at Bangor and gets the vote with improvement on the cards. The reliable Ballycamus can follow the selection home.

With improvement on the cards back up in distance, TANGANYIKA (nap) is particularly interesting. Jeffery's Cross is second choice.

14:30 Windsor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +0%) Asian Spice	3 3/1(+0%)	(4) Asian Spice 3/1, Proved better than ever when gaining the third Exeter success of her career in 18.5f handicap in November. That form has been boosted since and she must enter calculations again with Harry Cobden who is 1 from 1 on this horse taking over in the saddle. All wins at Exeter but has a respectable chance, assuming she takes to Windsor.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/4 +73%) Bellbird	1.5 6/4(+73%)	(7) Bellbird 6/4, Fair maiden on the Flat in France. Scored for current yard at Ludlow (2m) in May and back to form when second at Bangor in September. Her penultimate run is forgivable and was last seen 42 days ago chasing home well-treated Harry Derham horse (Carlisle, Second of 10). That form reads well here. Ran very well at Carlisle most recently, beating all bar a subsequent scorer; good chance.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 -125%) Little Soiree	18 18/1(-125%)	(2) Little Soiree 18/1, Runner-up twice for Willie Mullins but showed little for Paul Nolan. More encouragement on debut for this yard in a 2m Kempton novice during the spring (in a share of third and keeping on when falling at last). Pitched into listed company on return 15 days ago (8th of 9), this is more her level. Stiff task in Listed grade last time (second run for new yard); this is more realistic.
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 +8%) Hedera Park	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Hedera Park 11/1, Benefitted from a patient ride when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in November and ran at least as well under a penalty when third at Taunton (19f, good) the following week. Poor run on softer ground at Ffos Las 6 days later but race likely came too soon for her. Has something to prove back over 2m, having looked best at 2m3f/2m4f.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -57%) Saisissante	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(3) Saisissante 11/2, Landed juvenile hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) in November 2023 and ran a respectable third at Newbury the following month. Blinkers discarded for comeback run 18 days ago but shaped encouragingly after a year off (raced keenly 3/8 at Hereford). Blinkers off again but remains of strong interest. Has progressive RPRs over hurdles; could take another step forward and is one to consider.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +67%) Mavis Pike	4 4/1(+67%)	(5) Mavis Pike 4/1, Built on previous promise when making all on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in October. Not in the same form when a well-held third under a penalty at Fontwell the following week (17.5f). Back in distance now and this looks a tougher race. Successful at Fakenham and placed at Fontwell since switched to handicaps; unexposed.

14:30 Windsor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ASIAN SPICE stripped fitter for her satisfactory reappearance fourth when winning readily over an extended 2m2f at Exeter last month. Jimmy Frost's mare was well in command on that occasion and she gets the vote to go in again off 6lb higher under Harry Cobden. Little Soiree was outclassed in a Listed race over an extended 2m at Newbury on her seasonal return last month, but she must enter calculations easing in grade on her handicap debut. Bellbird is respected most out of the remainder.

SAISISSANTE can record her second success over hurdles, having posted a likeable comeback effort at Hereford 18 days ago. Bellbird ran well at Carlisle last time out, and she can chase home the selection ahead of Asian Spice, with Harry Cobden an eyecatching jockey booking.

On the back of a solid effort, BELLBIRD could well record her first handicap win. Saisissante is second pick.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/8 +45%) Hasthing	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(1) Hasthing 11/8, Smart in bumpers and bright start over hurdles last winter, winning first 2 starts in novice company. Well backed, could only manage sixth in EBF Final on handicap debut at Sandown in March but encouraging chasing debut at Chepstow on return. Looks the one to beat. 2-4 over hurdles last season and can build upon last month's promising chase debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 -33%) Duhallow Tommy	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Duhallow Tommy 4/1, Proved to be a different proposition switched to fences following a wind op last term, winning 3 times (at up to 19.8f). Returned with a solid showing at Fontwell and is likely to be thereabouts again. Took very well to chasing in early part of this year and is still unexposed over this trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -22%) Zertakt	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(4) Zertakt 11/2, Low-mileage sort who landed 3 of his 6 starts in France. Lightly raced for this yard and only third of 4 on chasing debut 8 months ago but returns with stable firing on all cylinders. Safely held on both British starts (hurdle/chase) but it would be foolish to write him off.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -27%) Golden De Coeur	14 14/1(-27%)	(6) Golden De Coeur 14/1, Fair form over hurdles but inauspicious start to chasing when pulled up in a handicap at Stratford 7 months ago. Can't be completely written off, though. Dual point winner; quite promising in maiden hurdles; pulled up on chase/handicap debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -88%) Reilly	16 16/1(-88%)	(5) Reilly 16/1, Fair winner over hurdles who showed better form on his first go at chasing. Below form subsequently and hasn't been seen for 22 months, so market could be informative. Ran well in two of his three chases in 2022-23 season; returns from long absence here.
6th	7 6th (7) (15/2 +17%) Abingworth	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(7) Abingworth 15/2, A dual chase scorer (up to 2m4f) last term but brought down 6th in handicap chase at Huntingdon on return. Jumping let him down at Sandown last time but this is easier. Dual chase winner last season; ran okay last month but has a tendency to make errors.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 +0%) Alto Alto	28 28/1(+0%)	(2) Alto Alto 28/1, Four-time winner at Plumpton but hasn't returned in top form and others are more appealing. Might be perked up by refitted cheekpieces but others have much less to prove.
8th	9 8th (9) (8/1 +33%) Fever Dream	8 8/1(+33%)	(9) Fever Dream 8/1, Winner over hurdles at Perth in June and followed that with a couple of respectable efforts in defeat. Yet to fire over fences but it's still early days. Winning hurdler; left poor chase debut behind when very respectable fourth last month.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (50/1 -257%) No Tackle	50 50/1(-257%)	(8) No Tackle 50/1, Only second run for his current yard when getting off the mark over fences at Leicester (22.7f, heavy) in January. Not at best when last seen, though, and may need this. Ready winner at Leicester in January but has not really built on that success since.

15:05 Windsor Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

REILLY hasn't been seen since running with credit in fourth over 3m at Kempton in February 2023, but he looks to have been given a chance by the handicapper on his return to the track. Having gone well fresh before, Dan Skelton's charge gets the nod to land the spoils off what appears to be a more than manageable mark. Duhallow Tommy wasn't disgraced when third in a slightly deeper race over an extended 2m3f at Fontwell in October and commands respect eased 1lb with his sights lowered, while Hasthing is also considered.

HASTHING should improve for his chasing debut and bumper form gives him the potential for a good bit more progress yet, so he's preferred to the reliable Duhallow Tommy. Zertakt is well handicapped on his French form and returns with his stable going well, so he's not without hope.

Topweight HASTHING was a promising novice hurdler last season and can build upon last month's encouraging chase debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (9/4 -13%) Loverdose	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(10) Loverdose 9/4, French Flat winner who is improving over hurdles, just failing in his hat-trick bid in 2m3f Chepstow handicap last month having lost ground with error 2 out. Up 7 lb but he can gain compensation. Has form figures of 112 since switched to handicaps; may still have more to offer.
2	2 2nd (2) (15/2 +32%) Onewaywest	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(2) Onewaywest 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Off 11 months since taking a heavy fall at the eighth in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) but not discounted with yard going well. Still open to progress in handicaps and looks interesting on return from absence.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 +45%) Blue Hop	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) Blue Hop 11/1, Failed to take to fences in 3 starts last season but not disgraced back in this sphere when sixth of 17 in 2m3f Chepstow handicap 23 days ago. Possibilities. Ran encouragingly returned to hurdles on reappearance; may build on that effort.
4	9 4th (9) (9/2 +36%) Old Time Chaser	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(9) Old Time Chaser 9/2, Lightly-raced hurdler who looked rusty after 6 months off when fourth of 11 in novice at Bangor (16.7f, soft) 32 days ago. Can take a step forward now going into handicaps. Could be capable of significant improvement now handicapping; one to consider.
5th	11 5th (11) (33/1 +0%) Walkinthewoods	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) Walkinthewoods 33/1, It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2023 and he had a wind op before posting a below-form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Others appeal more. Well treated on best form but has been badly out of sorts since April.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 -13%) Poncho	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) Poncho 9/1, A fair hurdler who comes here on the back of success in 2m Flat handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current mood off a reduced mark. Won off 70 on latest Flat start; good chance if transferring that form back to hurdles.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 +24%) King Of The Lake	25 25/1(+24%)	(6) King Of The Lake 25/1, Runner-up on 6 of his first 7 starts over hurdles but well below best both runs this term at Exeter and Ascot. Needs to take a big step forward. Previously a consistent maiden but has lost his form.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -10%) Calshot Spit	22 22/1(-10%)	(7) Calshot Spit 22/1, Successful twice on the Flat in summer and also landed a 2m1f Fontwell handicap hurdle in September. Recorded a solid third of 6 back there last time so needs considering. New trip may have positive effect as he stays well on the Flat.
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -45%) Douglas Dc	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Douglas Dc 16/1, On a long losing run but he comes here in good nick, third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 33 days ago. Back up in trip and in the mix once more. Currently in a consistent vein of form but has something to prove back up in trip.
10th	4 10th (4) (11/2 -10%) Fourtowns	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(4) Fourtowns 11/2, Still to register a victory but he posted a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb. Largely consistent maiden; creditable second at Uttoxeter most recently; in the mix.
11th	8 11th (8) (50/1 +24%) Reforme	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Reforme 50/1, Fair form when reaching the frame on his first 2 outings over hurdles for Lucinda Russell but came in a well-held seventh in 2m3f Taunton handicap on yard debut last month. Has a bit to prove. Modest effort in Taunton handicap for new stable but may do better.
12th	13 12th (13) (18/1 +10%) Rubies Or Gold	18 18/1(+10%)	(13) Rubies Or Gold 18/1, Still a maiden and tried in cheekpieces when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (24.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Not an easy ride. Better was seemingly expected last time, only to seem a non-stayer over 3m.
13th	12 13th (12) (33/1 -65%) Kolisi	33 33/1(-65%)	(12) Kolisi 33/1, Runner-up twice in 2m handicap hurdles in June 2023 but off 16 months and well held on Flat and in 2m Warwick handicap hurdle this autumn. Lots to prove at present. Nicely weighted on best form but needs to prove he retains peak ability.

15:40 Windsor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

ONEWAYWEST hit the woodwork on both hurdle starts before coming to grief four from home when still in with a shout on his handicap debut over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby last December. Off the same mark, Ben Pauling's unexposed five-year-old is taken to gain a well-deserved breakthrough victory here. Loverdose was last seen finishing runner-up at Chepstow last month and looks the main danger to the selection, despite a 7lb rise in the ratings. Douglas Dc completes the shortlist.

Plenty are in with a shout but it's still hard to side against Robert Walford's progressive LOVERDOSE who is fancied to gain compenastion for his excellent Chepstow second last time out when scuppered by a late error. Both Fourtowns and Poncho are weighted to have a say and must enter calculations, while others to consider include Onewaywest, Douglas DC and Calshot Spit.

A chance is taken on ONEWAYWEST, who has been absent for almost a year but is very interesting judged on his penultimate effort.
