Verdict
Mount Windsor is on a roll will need to overcome a further 7lb rise to complete the hat-trick. Confirmation Bias, who makes his handicap debut, looked as though his turn wasn’t far away when his late rally just failed to thwart Runswick Bay here two weeks ago. Good Man Pat usually takes on better opposition so shouldn’t be underestimated but WHEN YOU’RE READY could be another for the Jonjo O’Neill stable as he’ll relish the extra yardage here having placed over 3m between the flags. Gateway To Europe’s form figures suggests consistency but he has mainly run in small fields.
