Form & Verdict
Hardy veteran who keeps coming back for more and has a good record at Windsor; Racing League races on last two starts, winning at Yarmouth one week before his extremely close fourth at Wolverhampton; back in top form and has a fighting chance to go one better than when runner-up in this race last year.

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away.

All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal.

Can front-run; has done extremely well since gelded and joining current yard, with three wins and two close seconds from those five starts, all at about 1m; latest two wins were on AW but two of the other big runs were on good to firm; it's 1m2f, which he tried twice last year, which gives him most to prove today but he has to be in serious calculations.

Won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in May on second run for this yard and showed better form when close up in all three races since, two of them over 1m2f on good to firm; hanging left did not help in the blanket finish (Andaleep upsides) at Wolverhampton last time but he finished strongly nevertheless and could still have more in the tank; a leading contender.

Short-headed when he finished strongly at Newmarket (1m) in July and he was denied a clear run at top meetings on starts either side; never able to challenge in a muddling 1m2f race on latest start (gelded since) and worth this third crack at 1m2f; interesting.

Often leads; won at Epsom (8.5f, soft) from just 2lb lower last September; twice a creditable third over 1m this June but well held on last two outings; not proven over quite this far on turf and he's run well on only one of six visits to Windsor, so there are a few negatives.
