In depth
Verdict
KRONFUL should have no problems breaking her maiden tag, while both Cat O'Nine Tails and Tartaria will fight it out for the minor honours. The selection showed real promise on her seasonal reappearance at Windsor and is sure to come on for the experience. She has the best form on offer and with further improvement to come she will take all the beating. Cat O'Nine Tails is a newcomer form the Mark Johnston stable. The stable have a good strike rate at this venue so any market moves should be noted. Tartaria is bred for speed being by Oasis Dream. She is nicely bred and will have been well prepared for her debut so warrants respect. Kronful however is the form horse in the race and will be difficult to oppose.
