Verdict
WINDSORLOT has to give weight away to all rivals but he arrives in really good nick at present and should play a leading role here. He returned to turf latest after a string of all-weather performances with a fine second at Lingfield and a good run is expected off a 1lb higher mark. He gets on well with George Downing. Roy Rocket has an excellent record at this venue and was back to form with a good second here last time. He looks an obvious threat along with Tigerfish and Rocksette, both of whom should go well under talented apprentices who claim a valuable 5lb. Tigerfish is narrowly preferred of the pair.
