16:34 (Windsor) Dark Dreamer
Robert Cowell’s Dark Dreamer only won by a neck last time out but that did not quite tell the full story and he can add to that success at Windsor.
The handicapper thought he won a bit cosily too, as he has been raised 5lb, but he is up to defying that.
He was making his handicap debut having been gelded and was well supported, so a big run was expected and he looks a likely improver.
Dark Dreamer is back out in the Jules Gozo Holidays Leading Villa Specialists Handicap and can keep progressing.
17:09 (Windsor) Nemov
Clive Cox’s Nemov ran a huge race on debut at Kempton back in January when second to Andrew Balding’s Fire Demon, beaten half a length.
The winner has won twice since and is now rated 93, so a race like the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes should be a formality unless there is something special lurking.
17:39 (Windsor) Lyric
Lyric is one to watch in the Jean & Leslie Spencer Memorial Maiden Stakes.
He shaped up nicely when second at Kempton on debut and is well rested.
Further improvement is likely for the three-year-old with a step up in trip.
19:09 (Windsor) Mrembo
Mrembo looks to kick off his season with a win in the Castle Hotel 'Steaks' Fillies' Handicap.
She was a course-and-distance winner last season, but this is her first outing since October when she finished third at this track.
She has an excellent record with rider Olivia Tubb and this is the perfect race to resume with, so she should be in with a shout.
Windsor selections in full:
Windsor: 16:34 Dark Dreamer, 17:09 Nemov, 17:39 Lyric, 18:09 Fighter Command, 18:39 Fast Steps, 19:09 Mrembo, 19:39 Calm Waters, 20:09 Mary Of Modena.
