Slowly into stride, switched left and headway on outside to soon lead, headed over 1f out, rallied to lead again well inside final furlong, ridden out op 10/3 tchd 11/4
Maypole (7/4), Optimum Time (7/2), Kalagia (4/1), The Warrior (13/2), Sir Plato (7/1), Cape Icon (14/1)
Sir Plato and Kalagia both like to get on with things and might find their respective chances compromised by each other here. Optimum Time has a perfect record here at Windsor (2-2) and is respected but this might go to MAYPOLE, who won twice in May and has essentially carried on improving in defeat since. This is a good opportunity for him. Cape Icon should be sharper after a recent debut for new connections.
