This evening at Windsor and Musselburgh

Windsor contnues its series of Monday evening meetings with a card featuring two class 4 handicaps. The first, for 3yo´s over a mile at 20.40, is quite tricky as 3 of the 7 runners, Capucci (John Gosden/ Jimmy Fortune), Marning Star (David and Adrian Nicholls) and Brave Hawk (Michael Jarvis/ Philip Robonson) are all in good form after wining last time out, while top-weight Lindelaan (Sir Michael Stoute/ Ryan Moore) also looks dangferous. By contrast the 10 furlongs handicap half an hour later is difficult, as hardly any of the runners are recommended by recent form. Top-weight Emperor Court (Peter Makin/ Ryan Moore), bottom-weight Harry Gee (Geoff Wragg/ Steve Drowne) and Good Effect (Charlie Morlock/ Dane O´Neill) are three for the short list. At Musselburgh, the best race is the class 4 handicap over 7 furlongs at 21.25 and this time there are sv eral form horses in the line-up. Stellite (Jim Goldie/ Daniel Tudhope) and Il Castagno (Brian Smart/ Tom Eaves) have neother finished ou of the first two so far this season, while consistent Cha Cha Cha (Kevin Ryan/ Neil Callan) is a danger to all.
