Form & Verdict
Reliable sort who has run with credit every time she's been to Windsor, most recently when leading over 1f out for a comfortable C&D win (good to firm) in June; second off this 4lb higher mark at Newbury on her only start since; should go well again.

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Pat Phelan

Consistent mare who scored three times at Windsor (11.5f) last term and has posted two creditable efforts at Lingfield (latest over 2m) this year; C&D record reads 312; solid claims.

Reliable type who returned from over three months off with a creditable fourth over 1m4f here three weeks ago; versatile trip-wise and stays this far; each-way hopes.

J: Harry Burns

Has gained all turf wins over the extended 1m3f at Windsor, including in three of her last four outings; switching back to elsewhere isn't ideal but she has bits of Epsom form; better than ever and enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Made most and rallied well to win at Epsom (1m2f) in July on handicap debut, officially on good ground but probably good to firm; it had rained when disappointing favourite off this 4lb higher mark at Sandown (1m2f, good) two weeks later, chasing leaders before finding little; she's a player on the Epsom win and, as a 3yo, could have more to give.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Steadily progressive daughter of Wootton Bassett who made a successful handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f) in July; aggressively ridden when a good fourth of eight at Yarmouth (11.5f) a week ago so she's a likely player off the same mark for yard well among the winners.

Form & Verdict
A win and two seconds (one here on good to firm) in her first three handicaps; cut out disappointingly in the last 2f when well-beaten last of four at Salisbury on latest start, which was her first attempt at 1m4f (this isn't much shorter and she's not stoutly bred) but connections now reach for headgear; made the running on last three outings.

Opened her account at Redcar (1m2f) in May and she got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when third in 11.5f Windsor handicap in August, not enjoying the clearest of passages; she may do better still after a break with headgear again fitted.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who's had ten wins overall and has a 3-22 record at Windsor, which also includes five seconds; he's not sparked this season but the best of those performances was a C&D third on reappearance and he's now 8lb lower, racing off a career-low mark.

10yo who is a ten-time winner, but he's not posed a threat in four runs this season and was beaten 8l at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) last time; mark continues to fall but he needs to rediscover his spark.
