Thirsk and Windsor this evening

Windsor stages its usual Monday evening fixture, this time featuring a listed race over 6 furlongs at 21.00 CET. Luca Cumani´s Balthazars Gift (Jimmy Fortune) is well-treated by the conditions and is clear top rated here, but he has only won once in the last 30 months so is no good thing to score this time. Hoh Mike (Michael Bell/ Jamie Spencer) and Prime Defender (Barry and Michael Hills) both ran well in a huge field at York, where Sonny Red (Richard Hannon/ Ryan Moore) completely failed to show his form. Hoeber his previous efforts put him in here with a great chance. At Thirsk, Peter Chappe-Hyam´s Karoush (Alan Munro), third on his debut at Newbury against probably stronger opposition, should win the 7 furlongs maiden at 20.15.
