Runners Spotlight

1
Lequinto
Favorite

Had a wind operation in May and it's had the desired effect as he comes here chasing a quick four-timer (the three wins under Matthew Lloyd Slater); those wins have all come at Windsor, a track he's always had an affinity for, but he can't be discounted despite the double penalty and different test.

Jockey: Matthew Lloyd Slater(5)Trainer: Tony Carroll
2
Faustus

Game effort when winning over C&D last August off a 7lb higher mark; struggling to find his best form this year and last of four off this mark at Salisbury last week; should come good again at some point; headgear absent today.

Jockey: Ryan KavanaghTrainer: Rachel Cook & John Bridger
3
Aces Wild

Three wins at Wolverhampton last year; looks to retain all his ability, second of seven at Wolverhampton in April on penultimate start; more to prove on turf but did show some promise on a sound surface last summer; this should be run to suit one that comes from off the pace and he's a contender.

Jockey: Taryn Langley(3)Trainer: Adrian Wintle
4
Merrimack

Two front-running wins on turf last July (6f, soft and 5f, good); fully effective on a faster surface too, as when close up on his last three starts; shouldn't be too far away.

Jockey: Olivia Haines(5)Trainer: Stuart Williams
5
The Defiant

Prominent racer; narrow win at Wolverhampton in March when rated 1lb lower; only fourth behind Lequinto last week but 12lb better off today.
