Verdict
Royalorien faded disappointingly in a warm contest at Goodwood and the form of her promising debut second at Nottingham has taken a few knocks so she is passed over in a race where there are plenty of viable alternatives. Ceffyl Gwell and Queen Of Cash both held prominent positions in the market ahead of their Windsor debuts and it would be no surprise to see them leave their initial efforts behind whilst Choose The Moment showed plenty of promise at Sandown, promises to be suited by this longer trip and has the plum draw. Park Ballet could struggle from a low draw and of more interest are newcomers Shaman Dancer and Cultural Desert with the latter in particular making plenty of appeal on paper. The suggestion, however, is MORACHE MUSIC who belied his 66-1 starting price to run a race full of promise at Windsor in a fair maiden and normal progression should see him involved in the finish.
