      Verdict

      Windsor Knot can finally get his head in front this season after two frustrating seconds at the expense of Khyber Kim and Degas Art. The selection has been knocking on the door of late and was a close second behind Tam Lin at Newbury last time with todays main rival Khyber Kim back in third. The latter will struggle to reverse placings even though he is entitled to come on for the run. The selection won two nice races last year as a three year old and has been unlucky so far this term but with conditions to suit he can turn his luck around. Degas Art has been running consistently well all year and did get his head in front at Salisbury in May but has since found life tough. He looks the type to do better in handicaps so for the winner we return to Windsor Knot.
