3yo who ended last season with a Newcastle win (1m, AW) and has run well in three of his four starts this season including when fourth of 14 at Newcastle (cheekpieces added) last month; still has low mileage and he should be in the mix again.

Last ran at this distance when taking Leicester maiden (good to soft) in October; scored at Lingfield in June and, after a blip, it was a solid second here (also 1m2f, good) 19 days ago; went for home soon enough on latter occasion and this drop back in trip is no reason to dismiss her; contender.

Windsor fourth has been well advertised since (first three all successful next time) and she did her bit when winning a 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; that continued the pattern of steady progress and she may well be up to defying a 5lb rise.

May be best on good ground or softer; has plenty of experience of this track (he's the only one in this field with any) and a solid record here, including his very narrow, rallying win over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago; back up 3lb but unlikely to be far away if he takes to first-time headgear.

Two wins on good to firm for this yard, improving for the step up to 1m6f at Newmarket on final 4yo start; well held over an inadequate 1m2f in two starts this year and although it hasn't done her much good from a handicapping viewpoint she has a more obvious chance back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Big improvement on his second start when a runaway winner of Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) last November; well below that form on Southwell reappearance (1m4f, AW) last month, but it's still early days and he looked a useful prospect on his penultimate run; interesting contender on handicap debut.
