Almodovar Del Rio^p⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 57

13/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 10/1). Off 96 days and 0-16 on the AW but capable of a bold show off this reduced mark if on-song.

Form: 46/2588-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan| T: John Berry| OR: 57

40/1

9/1, last of 4 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good), very slowly away. Off 158 days ahead of this polytrack debut and needs to raise her game.

Windsor Pass¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 56

2/1

Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 19 days ago, left with too much to do. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 45252-2

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 55

13/2

Last of 13 in handicap at this course (10f, 9/2) 49 days ago. Back down in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Doves Of Peace^p⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 52| C

50/1

Course winner. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 12/1) 57 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Bell and cheekpieces back on. Wouldn't be without a chance if he were to put his best foot forward.

Mashaan¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 51| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at the same course (7.2f) 12 days ago. Couldn't rule out.

Form: 0413-36

Forecasts

Windsor Pass (2/1), Mashaan (10/3), Lord Danielson (9/2), Almodovar Del Rio (13/2), Edvard Grieg (13/2), Nubough (16/1), Flying Star (40/1), Doves Of Peace (50/1)

Lending support to a 29-race maiden is rarely advisable but in the case of WINDSOR PASS an exception can be made. Indeed, the 7-y-o has hit the crossbar on three of her last four starts and she probably should've won over this C&D last time (left with too much to do). Almodovar del Rio has edged down to an attractive mark and could be the main danger, though Lord Danielson and Mashaan are also plausible candidates for that role.
