Windsor (eve) - Sat 29th Aug

[fintron]

6.10 Windsor This looks a really interesting listed race despite the small field size and Sir Michael Stoute, victorious 12 months ago with Spanish Moon, sends out Ebor fifth Warringah here. Warringah ran a tremendous race in the Ebor, getting mugged of place money and going down by only one length even though he finished back in fifth, but I feel he is too short for this today with Classic Punch likely to prevent him dictating the tempo as he would ideally like to do. Bushy Dell is making up the numbers based on official ratings, as she needs to find two stone to trouble these based on those figures, whilst Age of Reason is tough to fancy at 7/4 given his UK form and Godolphin's poor record in valuable races this term. That leaves just one - Traffic Guard from the Paul Cole yard. The five year old Bay has not won for two years when landing a conditions race at Newmarket, but he has ran in some decent races since and has often been placed by shaping as if he would benefit from a step up in trip. He is running off a good weight on 9-2 here considering he'd be giving weight away to all of these in a handicap and reunited with Martin Dwyer (1-1) he is my pick in the hope of picking them up late on. 10/3 SJ, 1 pt.

Re: Windsor (eve) - Sat 29th Aug 6.40 Windsor Bankable has been getting around more than Ashley Cole in recent months and after moving on from Luca Cumani's yard to Mike de Kock, only remained with the South African handler for a short time before coming back to the UK to Gary Moore. This is his first start for Moore but after winning a handicap and finishing fifth in a Group 1 over in Nad Al Sheba the five year old returns with an official rating of 115 and he is one of the better weighted runners on official ratings. This horse has often frustrated in the past with a number of seconds but he has done most of his racing over shorter so I am chancing over 1m 2f here (only had two starts over this trip and second twice). 5/1 SJ, 0.5 pt EW.
