10/1
Left debut form well behind when taking a 12-runner Wolverhampton maiden in November. Not up to the Greenham on reappearance but posted a useful effort when 2 lengths fifth of 8 in 7f Newmarket listed race since. Drops back in trip for handicap debut.

Useful juvenile at up to 7f. Shaped as if retaining all his ability when 4 lengths fifth of 13 in 7f Goodwood handicap on reappearance. May come on for the run and much respected in refitted blinkers with his top yard in very good form.

Won 2 sprint novices last summer. Ran no sort of race on 6f Newbury nursery debut last October but heavy ground may have been a factor in that. Retains potential back from 7 months off.

Won 2 sprint novices last autumn. Down the field in 2 handicaps this term but he may have needed the run on reappearance and badly hampered leaving the stalls at York since. His North Yorkshire stable is no stranger to success at this venue.

Ended 2022 with 6f win at Southwell in December. Started 2023 with 3 creditable efforts on AW and heavy ground provides an excuse for last month's poor run at Goodwood.

Sprinter going the right way, unlucky fourth on Kempton reappearance then good third in strong Newmarket handicap (6f, good). Likely capable of better again and leading claims.

Fairly useful form, getting off the mark in 6f Yarmouth novice (soft) in October. Not up to listed company on final start. More realistic chance now handicapping on return but it's hard to argue her opening mark looks lenient.

Much improved from debut when showing a good turn of foot to settle matters in a 6f Ascot maiden last July. Shaped encouragingly after 9 months off when third at Kempton (7f) in April and might have been unsuited by very testing ground when well-held sixth on Newmarket handicap debut last month.

Showcasing colt who was placed on turf on first 2 starts before making it third time lucky in 6f Wolverhampton novice last November. Starts out in handicap company in a competitive race but he is unexposed.

Improved again to easily land short odds in 5f Brighton maiden on reappearance. Can have a line put through his subsequent handicap debut run at York since as he was badly hampered at a crucial stage. One to consider under Buick.

Bagged 3 AW wins last year. Has found life tougher in handicaps this time round, finishing behind Eminency when sixth of 11 at Newmarket (6f, good) latest. Hooded first time. Mark on the slide but others still preferred.

Forecasts

Eminency (9/4), Spartan Arrow (9/2), Bresson (9/2), Tough Enough (13/2), Batal Dubai (9/1), Wiltshire (10/1), Buccabay (16/1), Aunt Violet (18/1), Rocking Ends (25/1), Knebworth (25/1), Squealer (25/1)

19:15 Windsor - 5 June 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A useful 3-y-o sprint. EMINENCY arrives on the back of a good placed effort in a similarly competitive race at Newmarket and gets the vote. Spartan Arrow didn't get the chance to show what he could do on his York handicap debut and is second choice ahead of Bresson, who shaped quite well on his Goodwood reappearance.
