Saturday Evening From Royal Windsor

Winter Hill Stakes Group 3 (1m 2f)


Usual small field for this regular evening feature at Royal Windsor. Star of Bengal is a likely front runner and could face a battle with Matterhorn if he steps forward, both failed mto place last time out with the former being inconvenienced on soft ground and could step forward if he makes the transition from handicap company. His last run was in the Wolferton and the form of that Listed event is quite hot. Matterhorn is a course winner and looks capable of winning at Group level but he disappointed in Germany last time out. He has come 2nd best to some useful improvers this season. The likely favourite Queen Power receives 13lb from Desert Encounter and 10lb from the rest on her first attempt at open company. Unexposed and could prove to be a worthy market leader but the price looks short. Accidental Agent steps back to a realistic level and attempts this trip for the first time. If the pace is strong the staying power of Desert Encounter could come into play, he's won twice before at this twisting track and comes here on the back of a win at Goodwood.


Selection:


Worth a shot at Desert Encounter, he's in top form and likes this track. He will need a strong pace as he is better over further but at around 4/1 he looks good value.
