Forecasts

Windsor Avenue (2/1), Sam Brown (9/4), Knight In Dubai (5/2), Joke Dancer (5/1)

Verdict

Claims can be made for all of the horses who remain unexposed in graded company but it may be wise to give WINDSOR AVENUE another chance after a tam effort last time out. He lacked his natural fluency that day and seemingly didn't stay, so he can be forgiven and has been highly-touted by his trainer, who is a shrewd sort with classy sorts. Knight in Dubai has looked classy in two wins this season and will have no problem with this trip - and it's interesting the stable's leading jockey turns up here - while Sam Brown is likely to set the pace and will be dangerous if getting a soft lead. Joke Dancer has relatively few chinks in his armour, but the slight worry is the step up in trip.
  1. Windsor Avenue
  2. Knight In Dubai
  3. Sam Brown
