In depth
Verdict
Mauro could prove best of the experienced runners, but we select three newcomers to fight out the finish, Divani, Godsend and Touch Of Silk, with the last named getting a tentative vote. Trained by Barry Hills, this Night Shift filly will certainly know her job. She cost 110, 000 euros as a yearling so is also one of the more expensive purchases in the field. Divani is trained by Bryan Meehan and runs in the colours of successful owner Susan Roy. The in form Frankie Dettori takes the mount on this daughter of Shinko Forest and we expect a big run. Godsend is trained by Richard Hannon who's two-year-olds always have to be respected here at Windsor. Mauro has come up against some decent types in tow races to date so does appear to be the obvious form candidate. However we will take on chance on the debutantes and side with Touch Of Silk.
