17:12 – Find Us At fitzdares.com Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 5 | Going: 8.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a fairly ordinary amateur riders’ handicap on paper, but it is not short on plausible angles. Hengest and Take The Boat sit prominently in the market for good reason, both arriving with recent form that gives them solid claims, while Silver Gunn is the type to bounce back quickly if forgiving a tame reappearance. Bownder and Little She are not without interest either if the race gets messy, which it easily could in this sort of contest. The pace and the ability to hold a position around Windsor’s turning 1m2f look important, and there are a few exposed older horses here who may again find one or two too strong. Tricky rather than deep, and the draw could have a say.
Top Selections
1. Hengest – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr Fletcher Yarham | Trainer: Dylan Cunha | Form: 7-64 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 35
Hengest looks the percentage call. He is one of the less exposed runners in the line-up as a 4yo and his latest fourth suggested this mark of 60 is workable. Drawn in stall 1, he should get a handy run round here, and that matters plenty at Windsor over this trip. The bare figures do not scream certainty, but there is a sense he is still finding his level whereas plenty of these have been around the block. Dylan Cunha’s team know how to place one in this grade and 9/2 is fair enough in a race lacking a standout. He holds strong claims if building again on that latest effort. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Little She – 14/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss Alice Tregoning | Trainer: Marcus Tregoning | Form: 5732-6 | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 53
Little She makes plenty of each-way appeal at the prices. Her form tailed off only slightly on her return, and that run may have been needed after a break given she had signed off last season with a solid second. She is not badly treated off 61, has a decent enough draw in 4, and her Topspeed figure of 53 stacks up respectably in this company. In a race full of exposed older handicappers, she is one of the few who could still have a little wriggle room. At 14/1 with four places on offer, she looks the value each-way punt if reproducing the promise she showed before the winter. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Hengest is the win play, mainly because he is unexposed, well berthed and arrives with the right profile for a race like this. Little She is the each-way alternative at a much bigger price and looks worth chancing with four places available. The obvious dangers are Take The Boat, who brings consistent recent form, and Silver Gunn if bouncing back from a poor seasonal return.

17:42 – Fitzdares Telephone & Text Betting Restricted Novice Stakes (Horses In Bands B, C And D) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 4 | Going: 8.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fair restricted novice rather than anything especially deep, but there are a few with proper upside. My Mate Roger sets a solid standard on ratings after finishing second on both starts, while Cape Fear has already shown he stays this sort of trip and arrives off a good runner-up effort. Fighter’s Spirit is the interesting one, though: he won first time up for Saeed bin Suroor and is entitled to improve significantly for that experience and this extra distance. Behind the principals, Battle Hymn, Probation and Relentless Hero are the sort who could step forward, but plenty of the remainder look up against it. In truth, this feels more about potential than proven substance, which makes it slightly tricky but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Fighter’s Spirit
Jockey: Oisin Orr | Trainer: Saeed bin Suroor | Form: 1 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 42
A winning debut for this yard always catches the eye, and I liked the simple fact that he got the job done straight away. In races like this, that experience can be worth plenty, especially against rivals who have had chances without quite finishing the job. He is already rated 78, matching the better exposed contenders, and the move up to 1m2f looks a logical next step rather than a stab in the dark. Oisin Orr is a positive booking and, from stall 4, he should be able to sit handy without wasting ground. With obvious scope to come on from that first run, he is the one I want onside.
Bet: WIN
2. Battle Hymn – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Charles Bishop | Trainer: David Simcock | Form: 4 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed:
At the prices, Battle Hymn makes more each-way appeal than some of the shorter ones. He was fourth on debut, which does not leap off the page, but it was a respectable start in a race where the experience should have taught him plenty. David Simcock’s youngsters often improve for a run and this step up to 1m2f looks likely to suit on pedigree and race style. He does need to find a chunk on ratings with the principals, but restricted novices can collapse quickly if the obvious ones fail to progress. Available at 10/1, he looks the value play for those wanting an each-way punt in a 14-runner field.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Fighter’s Spirit is the win play on the basis that a successful debutant for a powerful yard should have more to offer over this longer trip. For an each-way alternative, Battle Hymn is interesting at double-figure odds after a promising enough introduction. The obvious dangers are My Mate Roger, who has the most reliable placed form, and Cape Fear, whose rating and recent effort put him firmly in the mix.

18:17 – Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap (Windsor Sprint Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 6f | Class 3 | Going: 8.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper sprint handicap rather than a gift for punters, with several arriving on similar marks and not much between the principals on raw ability. Diligently has the profile of a 4yo who can still climb the ladder, while Zoulu Chief and Photosynthesis are obvious players if bouncing back from slightly underwhelming latest efforts. Badri is a battle-hardened old sprinter with the best Topspeed figure in the field, and Under The Twilight comes here off a solid second from a handy racing weight. Windsor’s straight 6f usually rewards tactical speed and the ability to hold position, so the tempo and track position could be decisive. It looks competitive rather than deep, but there should be no hiding place.
Top Selections
1. Diligently – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Clive Cox | Form: 912-44 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 84
Diligently makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of the older hands look a bit exposed. He signed off last season with a win and has returned with two respectable efforts, both fourth-place finishes, suggesting he is holding his form without everything dropping right. An opening mark of 101 still looks workable for a 4yo from the Clive Cox yard, especially over a sharp 6f on quick ground. Drawn low in stall 2, he should be able to adopt a handy position, and Saffie Osborne is more than capable in these rough-and-tumble handicaps. Available at 5/1, he looks the percentage call in a race full of ifs. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Under The Twilight – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Marco Ghiani | Trainer: Michael Blake | Form: 078-62 | Rating: 98 | Topspeed: 67
Under The Twilight is not the sexy one in the line-up, but he is exactly the sort who can outrun his price in this grade. His latest second was a clear step back in the right direction and came off a mark of 98, which gives him a fighting chance if building on it. The 8yo has plenty of mileage, but he is well treated on some older form and carries just 122, which matters in a tightly packed sprint. Stall 6 is fine, Marco Ghiani is a positive booking, and at 13/2 he makes much more each-way appeal than some of the shorter ones who don’t look bombproof. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Diligently is the win play because he has the most convincing mix of current form, upside and a workable mark. Under The Twilight is the each-way punt in an 11-runner field, with his recent second and light weight making him interesting at the prices. The main dangers are Zoulu Chief, who has enough class for this, and Photosynthesis if Tom Marquand can get him rolling early.

18:47 – Padel Maidenhead Anniversary Cup Restricted Novice Stakes (For Horses In Bands C And D) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: 8.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a pretty ordinary restricted novice on paper, but there is a clear shape to it. Sargent Dennis and Startled Lady dominate the ratings and bring the strongest placed form into the race, so it would be a surprise if the winner came from too far outside that pair. Mooj has bits of juvenile form that give him a squeak if returning improved, while Grand Vista is another with enough ability to get involved after a break. A few of the others, such as Star With Purpose and Rivera Queen, have shown something, but they need another step forward. In truth, this is not a deep novice and that should suit the more battle-hardened types.
Top Selections
1. Sargent Dennis – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Marquand | Trainer: Jack Channon | Form: 522 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed:
He sets the standard among the colts and geldings and, unlike plenty of these, has been knocking on the door rather than merely shaping with promise. The form figures of 522 tell their own story: he has learned his job, he is running to a solid level, and a mark of 77 gives him a clear edge over most of this field. Tom Marquand is an eye-catching booking and Jack Channon’s horse looks the one with the least guesswork attached. At 15/8 he is no giveaway, but in a race lacking depth he is the one I’d want onside most. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Mooj – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Jack Jones | Form: 35- | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 58
For an each-way play, Mooj makes more appeal than some of the shorter alternatives because there is still a bit of untapped potential there. He showed enough in two runs last year to suggest he could win a race of this nature, and his mark of 71 leaves him within striking distance if he has strengthened up from two to three. The Topspeed figure of 58 is perfectly respectable in this company and Kieran Shoemark is a positive rider booking for a horse who may be able to travel into it nicely. Available at 10/1, he looks the value option to hit the frame and possibly do better if the principals underperform.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Sargent Dennis is the straightforward win bet because he brings the best recent form and the race doesn’t look packed with lurking talent. For an each-way punt, Mooj is the one at a fairer price with scope to improve from two to three. Startled Lady is the obvious danger after her latest second and is the one most likely to spoil the plan.

19:17 – Phil Rendell’s Fifty-Tenth Birthday Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 8.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper sharp five-furlong handicap rather than a weak late-evening affair, and there are several with perfectly fair claims. Over Spiced arrives off the back of a win and is the obvious starting point from a handy low draw, while Correspondence has been knocking on the door and is interesting dropped into this grade with Tom Marquand booked. Cayman Tai is admirably consistent without looking bombproof at the prices, and Diamond Dreamer is another who keeps running his race in these sprint handicaps. Roman Spring also enters calculations off a solid return. It is competitive, no question, but not impossible to solve: a good position early and the ability to travel strongly on this quick ground should decide it.
Top Selections
1. Over Spiced – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ashley Lewis | Trainer: Grace Harris | Form: 24-521 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 70
He makes plenty of appeal after finally getting his head back in front last time, and that recent 1 on the card matters in a race where a few rivals are threatening rather than delivering. An official mark of 81 looks workable, stall 2 should suit around Windsor over the minimum trip, and he has the profile of one who can hold a good early position and keep finding. Grace Harris has him in form and Ashley Lewis knows the horse well enough to avoid making this complicated. At 3/1 he is not exactly hiding from the market, but he still looks the most solid win proposition in the field.
Bet: WIN
2. Roman Spring – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran O’Neill | Trainer: Rachel Cook & John Bridger | Form: 2213-3 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 65
Roman Spring is the each-way angle at the prices. He returned with a perfectly respectable third and that form line suggests he is ready to strike again without needing to improve dramatically. He is well enough berthed in stall 3, carries just 125, and his profile is that of a tough, reliable sprint handicapper who will not mind a battle if this gets messy late on. Kieran O’Neill is a positive booking for this sort of contest and, in an eight-runner race with three places on offer, 8/1 feels a fair each-way punt against a few shorter-priced rivals who have less room for manoeuvre.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Over Spiced is the win play because he brings the strongest recent profile and looks set for the run of the race from a low stall. For an each-way option, Roman Spring makes more appeal than some of the shorter ones given his consistency and useful draw. The main dangers are Correspondence, who is well treated on figures, and Cayman Tai, who is solid but short enough.

19:47 – Rendells Are Hammers Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: 8.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper three-year-old handicap rather than a gimme, with plenty of lightly raced types open to improvement and a few arriving on winning streaks. Wild Thoughts is the obvious starting point after rattling off a hat-trick and looks well drawn to attack from stall 4, but he is no secret now and this is deeper than the races he has been dominating. Berkshire Boom is interesting on his handicap debut after winning a novice on just his second start, while Abundant and Annastarzy both have the profile of horses who can do better at a mile. Midnight Rodeo and Ohara bring solid low-draw credentials too. It is a competitive, slightly tricky puzzle, but not an impossible one if you trust the unexposed improvers over the fully exposed handicap form.
Top Selections
1. Berkshire Boom – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jason Watson | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 81- | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 67
Andrew Balding’s colt looks the percentage play. He learned on debut and then took a clear step forward when winning last time, and the switch into handicap company off 86 does not look harsh for a horse with only two runs behind him. The appeal is that he still has more to give at this mile, and Jason Watson is a good booking for a race where track position will matter. At 15/2 he is priced up as one of several with a chance, but I’d argue his upside is greater than most of them. In a race full of exposed recent winners, he is the one who could still be ahead of the assessor. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Annastarzy – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Alec Voikhansky | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 644-4 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 67
Annastarzy makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race paying four places. She has the highest rating in the field, gets in here with just 131, and her reappearance fourth suggested she had trained on well enough. Richard Hannon’s filly has not yet put it all together in handicaps, but there is enough substance in her juvenile form to think a race like this is within range, especially back over a mile on quick ground. She is not as obviously progressive as a couple of these, but at 8/1 she looks a fair each-way punt because she should be competitive even if one or two improve past her late on. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Berkshire Boom is the win bet because he has the strongest scope angle and could easily be better than an opening mark of 86. Annastarzy is the each-way option with four places on offer, as she brings a solid rating and enough consistency to hit the frame. Wild Thoughts is the obvious danger after three straight wins, while Abundant and Midnight Rodeo are respected in a race with depth.

20:17 – Track Radio On Digital & DAB Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 8.9) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a pretty workable Class 5 rather than a deep one, with the older mares bringing established handicap form and the 3yos trying to use their weight-for-age edge. Lilly Lux is the obvious solid yardstick after a string of good efforts, while Pershalla arrives in similar nick and doesn’t have much to find. The interesting angle, though, is whether the lightly raced 3yos can improve past them, with Society Girl, Emma’s Letter and Kindly Queen all carrying much less weight than the principals. Sibling Rivelry is another with a progressive profile from last season, but she has to prove she’s trained on after an absence. In short, it’s competitive enough, but not an impossible puzzle if you trust the unexposed younger fillies.
Top Selections
1. Kindly Queen – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Edward Greatrex | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 4-334 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed:
Kindly Queen is the one I want on side. She hasn’t won yet, but her profile is exactly the sort that can pay in a race like this: lightly raced, holding her form, and now stepping into a handicap off what could be a very workable 71. Her 4-334 sequence suggests she’s been learning her job without running badly, and Beckett’s fillies often find a bit more once switched into this sort of company. The low weight is a major plus over this trip, and 9/2 looks fair rather than flashy. If she improves for the new test, she has every chance of being too well treated for these. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Pershalla – 13/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Amanda Perrett | Form: /3-012 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 19
Pershalla makes plenty of each-way appeal because she comes here in proper form and shapes like one who should give her running again. That recent sequence of 0-1-2 tells you she’s thriving, and there was no shame in finishing second last time after getting her head in front the run before. She’s drawn fine in stall 4, has a rider in Kieran Shoemark who suits these hold-up-and-pounce types, and her mark of 74 doesn’t look beyond her at all. At 13/2, she looks the value against shorter-priced rivals who may have more upside but less substance on the page. She’s a straightforward each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kindly Queen is the win play, based on the strong possibility that this opening handicap mark underestimates her. For an each-way alternative, Pershalla looks solid enough to hit the frame again and is priced accordingly. Lilly Lux is an obvious danger if repeating her recent consistency, while Society Girl is the unexposed one the market may get right.
