5/1

Dual C&D winner and closely matched with stable companion Intrude and with Ickymasho.. Always runs well here but could be vulnerable off this mark to rivals who have had less racing lately. Engaged 3:45 Windsor Monday.

15/8

Career record of 8-39 and well suited to AW surfaces and also soft ground. Well handicapped on some form and stable have been operating at an impressive 25 percent strike rate this year. Best form has come over further and 0-11 at this distance.

In dominant form here of late and faces another hike in the weights. Jockey is 8-40 on the AW for the yard. Stable's horses have been largely disappointing over the last month.

Viewpoint²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR: 80

8/1

Beat Grendisar three years ago but more recently has been toiling in handicaps and had a confidence boosting success in a seller last time. Needs to improve to win at this level but he is worth monitoring in the market.

Form: 0568-51

Forecasts

Noble Gift (15/8), Intrude (3/1), Ickymasho (7/2), Pactolus (5/1), Viewpoint (8/1)

Ickymasho has a lot going for her with a 2-3 record at the track and Richard Kingscote again booked to ride. A few of the yard's horses have disappointed over the last month but she will be able to dictate the pace just as she did last time and may well complete the hat-trick. Noble Gift is the best handicapped of these but the trip looks too short. Viewpoint only landed a seller last time but is clearly better than that. Stuart Williams has entered two including Pactolus who is due to run at Windsor on Monday. He will not have been suited to the pace set by Ickymasho last time and the pair are closely matched. His stable companion INTRUDE has had less racing and has been unlucky to come up against improving types on his last two starts. He looks ready to take an opportunity such as this.
