Windsor and Bath are the venues for today’s live flat races, with all the contests on display at Sky Sports Races.
4.50 Windsor – Collision of Spring Flowers and Many Stars
Many eight-year-old stars have been doing well recently in Southwell in tougher races than he faces here. He previously ran well here, a good third beyond the course and distance from the 1 pound high mark.
Mason Peter has been in good shape this season, lifting his foot with Springbloom, which appears to have had a chance to finish a very impressive second at Goodwood recently.
Havana Poosie managed to get along with King Richard III’s Cup when he finished 10th, but is obsessed with bouncing off and hitting the frame under William Carson.
Asinara has been relatively exposed here compared to some, running a strong race that finished third in the last 238 days of layoffs. She’s a big player here, running under her belt for Charlie Hills.
4.35 Bus – Command Prince seeks hat tricks in his handicap debut
Archie Watson’s four-year-old command price won the final two. Luke Morris takes over, this exposed kind is fantasized to take it a step further with his handicap debut, despite carrying the top-level mark from the 82 mark.
My ambition has already won three times on course and distance, and for Dennis Cokeley, there is plenty of chance to go out from the 61 mark.
The Richard Hughes star student was only seen on an all-weather surface and won three wins. He must make his grass debut here and be respected under Finley Marsh. His disappointing show at Chelmsford can be forgiven as he missed a break.
Thapa VC recently finished fourth in Bath with 10 furlongs, with obstacles and is back to a mile, so we get into the math.
The Island Bandit completes the reserved quintet, four pounds below his final victory mark.
4.15 Windsor – Course and Distance Winners Far Rumble Heading
Roger Teal’s far-off Rumble was in a great position to kick clearly last week when he won with convincingness on course and distance. He will be carrying a £6 penalty that will be eased with a booking of Tommie Jakes, a useful £5 claimant.
The first blue, held in Chelmsford in November, won at Chelmsford in the second start when he was sent a 2/1 favorite. Now taking and representing the powerful Richard Hannonyard, he will raise expectations and make his handicap debut.
The handle arrives in solid form in fine seconds at the ringfield. The 2 pound rise for that effort looks fair and she should once again enter the mix firmly for Marco Botti’s stable.
Ziggy’s Ariel and Rarie Change arrive in good form after a successful Ripon on the final day, and complete the list of contenders.
Best remaining
Ball as Brass must ignore the 5 pound penalty if he lands a hat trick on a Silver Sinturf Service amateur jockey handicap at 2:05pm in the verse. George Baker’s horse looks like the best runner in the race, but you might be wary of Marley Head, who returns to travel for the teaser team.
Another horse looking to win Treble on Monday is the Triple Double A from the Cameron Smart Memorial Handicap. The three-year-old, co-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson, starred in this last trip in Yarmouth, and was then given a £6 penalty.
Scoville – 2022 Melrose winner Soulcombe’s semi-brothers – 3:05pm Gabby Fullbrook Memorial Novice Stakes headline. William Hagas’ debutant, despite his disappointment in his recent first start at Newmarket, comes across a Persian vision.
Back in Bath, the 5:10pm Monarch Classic on the Birth Race Course Handicap sees Zappata having a double penalty.
