Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time.

Form & Verdict
Drawn widest but he's been running well on turf and the return to this track could count in his favour, having a healthy 3-8 strike-rate over C&D and now 3lb lower than the most recent last October; can figure.

T: Michael Attwater

His losing run goes back to October 2024 and he was only fifth at Lingfield (5f, good) last month, but prior to that he was second over this C&D (good to firm) and the return to Windsor could be a plus for this two-time C&D winner; he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Has done most AW racing on Polytrack but Tapeta clearly suits and she made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton (5f) when back there in August; never involved under a penalty at Lingfield since and needs more off just 1lb lower.

Resumed winning ways in 5f classified event here in January and not discredited after a tardy start when a running-on third of six in 5f Lingfield handicap two weeks ago; she's proven over this longer trip so rates a big player back in this company.

Front-runs; multiple sprint wins include six here; form tailed off after the latest of them in February and he was entitled to need last month's run at Yarmouth after a break; should give it a good shot from a low draw back on this track.

Maiden after eight starts; three fair turf runs for this yard but it took time for him to get going when taking a late close fourth of eight at Nottingham (5f; first-time hood, now discarded) last month and he wouldn't want to give himself too much to do now switched to Polytrack.

Off the mark at the 15th attempt in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 11 days ago; he faces different conditions this evening but showed promise on fast ground over C&D last June; could have more to offer in the retained headgear and he's respected up 4lb.

Has made the frame seven times, but now 0-14 and is virtually reappearing from six months off having unseated his rider exiting the stalls at Nottingham last month; that wasn't the first time he has had issues at the start so is probably best watched; blinkers given a go.
