6:00 Windsor
This Class 6 nursery handicap at Windsor over 6f12y on good to firm ground brings together an 11-strong field of largely unproven two-year-olds. The KTB Fit scores are tightly bunched between 50 and 39, underlining the modest nature of the contest and the limited ability on show. With the race lacking an obvious leader, the numbers point to a steadily-run, tactical affair in which positioning and timing will be key.
How the race shapes up
The pace shape indicates no natural front-runner, pointing to a steadily-run, tactical race where being handy should pay dividends. Several runners prefer to race held up and produce their effort late, which could see the field bunch early before a late surge becomes critical. C'Est Lui is the one most likely to race prominently from a wide draw, potentially setting a steady pace that others track. The key question is whether any horse can quicken effectively off a modest gallop or if the race will be decided by those delivered late from midfield or behind.

The contenders
Zohar KTB Fit 50/100
Zohar is a modest performer who has shown little in three starts at this trip. First-time headgear is now fitted in what looks a stiff task from stall 7. The trainer has a 14% strike rate at Windsor with an A/E of 1.05 from 92 runs while the jockey operates at 7% with an A/E of 0.81 from 124 rides. He is unproven on good to firm and has no course form on record. Usually held up and producing his effort late, he will need the race to fall right in this steadily-run affair.
Miss Moneypit KTB Fit 49/100
Miss Moneypit is a modest performer who has shown mixed form across seven runs this year. She has won once from three starts on good to firm but steps up in trip today having failed to trouble the judge in two previous tries at 6f. The trainer has a 10% strike rate at Windsor with an A/E of 0.85 from 809 runs and the jockey posts a 15% strike rate with an A/E of 0.87 from 713 rides. Usually held up and producing her effort late, she drops in class from draw 2 and could be suited by the steadily-run nature of the race.
C'Est Lui KTB Fit 49/100
C'Est Lui has shown only modest form in three runs to date and looks limited on what he has produced so far. The yard is going well at Windsor with a 15% strike rate and an A/E of 1.25 from 39 runs while the jockey has a 5% strike rate with an A/E of 0.41 from 187 rides. He has been tried over today's trip twice without success and the going remains an unknown with such a light career. Usually races handily on or close to the lead, he is drawn wide in stall 11 and could set a steady pace in a race lacking an obvious leader.
Crowned KTB Fit 49/100
Crowned is a modest performer who has shown consistent placed form, including a third on this course over today's trip. Recent efforts include a second last time out but the yard has a poor record here with no winners from 25 runs and an A/E of 0. Jockey Saffie Osborne has a solid 9% strike rate from 200 rides at Windsor. Placed twice from three starts on good to firm, he is held up and produces his effort late from draw 10. Course experience is a plus in what should be a steadily-run race.
From Me To You KTB Fit 48/100
From Me To You is a modest performer who has struggled to make an impact in five starts to date and finished well beaten when last seen. Steps up from 5f to 6f today which asks a fresh question, while the small sample on this ground leaves suitability unknown. The trainer has a 14% strike rate at Windsor with an A/E of 0.83 from 805 runs though the jockey is operating at only 6% from 51 rides here. Typically settling in midfield, he drops in class from draw 9 and will hope for a strongly-run race to suit his style.
The rest of the field
Stoney WoodKTB Fit 48/100
Stoney Wood has shown only modest form in four starts and was well held when last seen over 5f. He steps up to 6f today having failed to trouble the judge in three previous attempts at the distance while his sole visit to Windsor resulted in a remote tenth. The yard posts a 12% strike rate here from a large sample with an A/E of 0.86 and the jockey is operating at 17% with an A/E of 0.81 from 117 rides.
HolliesthedollieKTB Fit 47/100
Holliesthedollie has shown modest form in four starts and was well held when last seen over 5f. She steps up to 6f for the first time today which poses a fresh question while her sole run at Windsor produced an eighth-place finish. The yard operates at a 7% strike rate here with an A/E of 0.74 from 567 runs and the jockey has an 11% record with an A/E of 0.94 from 71 rides.
Devon AngelKTB Fit 42/100
Devon Angel is a limited performer on the evidence of five runs to date and has been beaten a long way on her last two starts. She steps up from 5f to an untried 6f today which asks a fresh question of her. The trainer has a 10% strike rate from 809 runs at Windsor with an A/E of 0.85 while the jockey is operating above her numbers with a 13% strike rate and A/E of 2.17 from just 16 rides here.
Vesper HoneyKTB Fit 42/100
Vesper Honey is a limited performer who has shown little in three starts to date, finishing no better than eighth. Steps up from 5f to 6f today having already been tried at the trip twice without success. Trainer and jockey both have solid but unspectacular records at Windsor with 9% and 10% strike rates respectively.
Purple DreamKTB Fit 41/100
Purple Dream is a limited 2yo who has shown very little in three starts to date, finishing no closer than sixth. Drops back to 6f with first-time headgear and from a low draw, but remains a modest performer at best on the evidence so far. Trainer and jockey both have solid records at Windsor without setting the place alight.
Sovereign DawnKTB Fit 39/100
Sovereign Dawn is a modest performer who has shown little in three starts, finishing tenth on this track last time. Drops back to 6f with first-time headgear and a 7lb claimer aboard, though the yard has a poor record here with no winners from 25 runs. Course experience is a slight plus but overall form remains weak.
KTB verdict
Zohar is the KTB Selection in a race where the majority of runners are modest and largely unproven at this level. The first-time headgear may help him produce a bit more from his held-up style in what is likely to be a steadily-run affair, and the drop in class offers some hope. His main dangers are likely to come from Crowned, who has shown consistent placed form including a third over course and distance, and Miss Moneypit, who has a win on good to firm and benefits from the booking of Tom Marquand. C'Est Lui could also feature if his prominent style allows him to dictate matters from the wide draw.
