Sir Plato has now won four of his last five, three of them at Windsor including a career-best effort there last time. He's only up 2lb so has to be a threat to all though EYNHALLOW will take some beating. Roger Charlton's charge made a successful handicap debut at Goodwood and wasn't beaten far in a better race than this from 8lb higher on a return visit last month. Mouille Point also made a winning start in handicaps at Nottingham but had every chance from 5lb higher at Windsor and will need to do better. Richard Hannon also runs Rita's Man, though the assessor looks to have a grip on him after his double in May, while Okool didn't run well at Chester in May and has been gelded.
