Pat Eddery is master technician at work when negotiating his way around Windsor and Voice Mail could not be in better hands. The three-year-old has shaped up well since stepping into handicaps and has shown a marked improvement on firmer ground this term. His stable have a good record here and he should go well providing the weather does not intervene with a significant downpour. There should also be better to come from Grand Harbour, Retirement and Malmand, but Petite Futee, as one of the more experienced in the field, could provide some value for each way thieves after staying on nicely over a similar trip last time.
