First Windsorlot Then Voltaic & Now Teardrops Handicap

Landed a handicap by a neck at Southwell last time off a mark 3lb below today’s, Magician Of Riga has two wins in recent starts and remains well treated overall; a longer trip than today’s would suit better but he handles the all-weather and comes off a short break.

Appeared to idle when only fourth at Windsor last time, Eljowhary is expected to benefit from stepping up in trip and moving into handicap company; he handles the all-weather and a first-time hood is fitted to sharpen him up.

Denied a clear run at a crucial stage last time and beaten 3½ lengths off a mark 1lb above today’s, Windbreaker rates better than bare results suggest; well supported in recent outings with more to come, he tops our figures here.

Making a well-beaten handicap debut in France last time, Taradif comes here with a 129-day gap since last running and must prove his form translates to British conditions; first-time tongue-tie is fitted but he sits at the foot of our rankings and the mark looks stiff.

Showed reasonable form before a flat effort at Haydock last time when stepped up to 1m; Aerial Silk must prove his stamina over this longer trip but has a top course jockey in the saddle and returns after a short break on a surface he handles.
