Race Type: Class 2
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 14
Distance: 5f
Race Preview
HUDDLE UP could go well on Monday in this one, as long as he is sharp on his return.
He will be under a new yard for the first time on Monday but he signed off the previous campaign with a nice score in a Navan handicap.
COUNT D’ORSAY will have to defy top weight in this contest, but he could still be set for a big run.
The conditions are likely to be heavily in his favour and he receives a good draw.
Count D’orsay has been involved in much better contests than this before and should make his presence felt.
EYE UP ITS MAGGIE is the final one on the shortlist in this contest. She scored at the end of last season in some heavy going at Leicester.
On her return this season she took a credible fourth in a field of 18 at Doncaster a couple of weeks ago.
That could give Eye Up Its Maggie some match sharpness advantage.
Ones to watch: Huddle Up 9/2, Count D’orsay 12/1

Race Type: Class 5
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 11
Distance: 1m
Race Preview
AL QAASIM makes the move back to the 1m trip which could see him get heavily involved in this one.
The last two runs have been at longer distances and he took a runner-up spot in both of those.
Al Qaasim is consistent and rates as a big danger in this highly-competitive field.
LE REVEUR receives a good draw for this one and he could build on a nice third place at Windsor 7 days ago.
There was a win for Le Reveur at Wolverhampton in February and he has remained in consistently good form since. Le Reveur should be involved.
DISTINCTION ran just five days ago, taking a runners-up spot at Nottingham and should have claims.
As long as this isn’t too quick of a turnaround for him, then he certainly brings some high claims despite being winless in thirteen.
Ones to watch: Le Reveur 9/2, Distinction 9/2

Race Type: Class 5
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 10
Distance: 2m 6f
Race Preview
This race is Round 2 of the Pontefract Stayers Championship 2022 and despite being a Class 5 contest only, looks like providing a good contest.
LIFFEYDALE DREAMER was last seen over the jumps a couple of weeks ago.
She took a good runners-up finish at Musselburgh in that one.
The switch back to the flat is pretty interesting for Liffeydale Dreamer has the staying qualities to get involved.
BEGGARMAN has been good on the all-weather and he can bring that form to the table on the turf then he poses a big threat.
His form is the pick of the bunch and he won a couple of times towards the end of the previous campaign.
A third at Wolverhampton on his latest in a race that didn’t pan out in his favour, sees Beggarman remain in good form.
NIBLAWI can’t be overlooked in this one even though he hasn’t taken a victory since 2016 on the flat.
There was a victory over the hurdles at Southwell three weeks ago for him on his latest effort.
His last flat effort in March wasn’t great, but he returns to the level in better form.
Ones to watch: Beggarman 2/1, Niblawi 9/1

Declared Runners: 11
Distance: 5f

OOH IS IT may prove to be the one to beat in this contest on Monday. He is a former course and distance winner.
There was a runner up spot in a Wolverhampton handicap on his latest race and returns at the same mark, so rates as a danger.
FOUR ADAAY warrants some respect as well on his return to action after a break of about six months.
There were three wins in the previous campaign for him and looked to be in good heart when last seen at Leicester in October.
THE PRINCES POET is another to look for in this minimum distance handicap.
He drops in grade after having been sent off in some tough handicaps at the end of the last season.
The Princes Poet has won the two previous visits to Windsor as well.
Ones to watch: The Princes Poet 11/2, Four Adaay 6/1

16:05 Windsor Fillies’ Handicap Horse Racing Tip
Race Type: Class 4
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 1m 2f
Race Preview
YUMMYLICIOUS is a very interesting one in his contest as she was showing some progressive form last term.
The best of that was a runner up in a Wolverhampton novice and because she is from a top yard, then she should be involved.
AFTER THE RAIN steps into her handicap debut and has produced some very nice form.
She was last seen taking a win at a Wolverhampton maiden two weeks ago.
Another from a leading yard, After The Rain has to be on the shortlist.
KICK ON GIRL is the final shortlisted selection for this one who won a novice at Haydock in September.
She hasn’t been seen since, but her yard is in form and she moves up in distance for what is her handicap debut.
Ones to watch: Yummylicious 3/1, Kick On Girl 15/2

QEYAADY took the third palace finish a week ago in a similar sort of contest here at Windsor.
He was hampered a bit by the runner, but then when the space came at the end Qeyaady put in a pretty bold challenge.
HE’S A LATCHICO brings some hot form to the table with a three-race winning streak under his belt.
There could be a stronger effort from him as he comes back onto the turf.
Top jockey Ryan Moore is booked and rates as a danger.
SPANISH HUSTLE returns to the flat which could be a good move to shake him up a bit.
His yard is bang in form at the moment and while his last two efforts over the hurdles have been really tame, he did win his last flat effort at Brighton last autumn.
Ones to watch: Spanish Hustle 12/1, He’s A Latchico 5/2
