Windsorlot²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| CD

2/1

Stripped much fitter for a turf comeback run returned to Tapeta here over a furlong further running right up to his best. Stayed on well to lead close home but has proved vulnerable in the past off marks like this.

Form: 6623-91

Billy Bond^b¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58| D

7/2

Not seen out for a while with his last two runs having come on the AW (well-held here last time). Now returns from a long break still above his last winning mark. Often travels well in his races but doesn't find much off the bridle.

Age: 11| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: Mike Hammond| OR: 52| C

25/1

Course winner but attempting to overcome a very long absence starting life with a new yard. Often slowly away and can only be watched for now.

Joys Delight^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Mr Ryan Holmes⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 51

15/2

Remains a maiden but may not have been seen in the best of lights in her last two runs. Given a very negative ride last time and given a lot to do and may be able to do better with some more positive tactics.

Home Again^p1⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 49

22/1

Cheekpieces go on for the first time stepped back up in trip after trying 6f for the first time last time. Offered little and went with minimal enthusiasm; not hard to leave alone.

Noneedtotellme²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Unett| OR: 46

7/2

A regular visitor here she looks at home on the surface but remains a maiden with the trips she has been running over (including this one) looking to sharp. Likely to get going too late again over this trip and wants further.

Form: 4-26623

Our Kim^p1⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 45

15/2

Still a maiden (like many in this field) although she did run one of her better races last time over 1m2f at Chelmsford in a lowly 0-50. Down in trip and up in class here and that doesn't offer much hope for breaking his maiden; cheekpieces now go on

Form: 8092-64

Pivotal Dream²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: J Mitchell| T: K G Wingrove| OR: 45| CD

25/1

Offered very little on her first outing since she left Mark Brisbourne although she has won over C&D in the past. Hard to fancy here given that rather lack-lustre run last time.

Form: 56024-0

Orobas^v1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 45

66/1

Second run back from wind surgery having been well held in a selling handicap here over 1m4f on his debut for this yard. Showed very little prior to his surgery/move and still a maiden after 13 starts; hopes pinned on a first-time visor.

Form: 66705/0

Shamonix^p1³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

22/1

This will be her third run back from a long absence but she's shown as little in those two previous runs as she did prior to the break. Career record now reads 0/12 with help now sort from first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 0957-76

Madakheel^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Hart| T: S G West| OR: 45

33/1

Found 6f on the Fibresand far too short last time but is only modest in any case and has yet to win a race. Might find this trip more suitable but usually spoils her chance by being very slowly away.

Form: 00-6594

Forecasts

Windsorlot (2/1), Billy Bond (7/2), Noneedtotellme (7/2), Joys Delight (15/2), Our Kim (15/2), Shamonix (22/1), Home Again (22/1), Moonbi Creek (25/1), Pivotal Dream (25/1), Madakheel (33/1), Orobas (66/1)

Hardly much strength in depth here with the majority of the field yet to win a race. WINDSORLOT may well be able to get away with a mark this high in company this weak having won here three weeks ago. Billy Bond has at least won a race and despite the long absence he could well go close given that he usually travels well in his races. Joys Delight was given a lot to do this time and if she is given a more positive ride would have a much better chance while Noneedtotellme may well find this trip too sharp once more before running on into the places.
