It’s the week after Royal Ascot! This Monday we’ve got tips and picks coming your way from WIndsor and Wolverhampton on 26 June 2023.
WINDSOR
Race 3 – GARDEN ROUTE 5/6
William Haggas looks to have found GARDEN ROUTE a fine opportunity to get off the mark in the third at Windsor.
He has been gelded since the last of his two runs as a juvenile, having shown enough in both of those to say he will win a race at some point.
Race 6 – MONTEVIDEO 11/8
MONTEVIDEO is another to be with at the Thameside track, sent handicapping for the first time in this handicap.
She was third in a good novice event Haydock last time out and should be suited by this shorter trip.
WOLVERHAMPTON
Race 3 – UNLIMITED DATA 6/4
William Muir and Chris Grassick’s UNLIMITED DATA is also worth watching when he returns to Dunstall Park in this handicap test.
The son of Tasleet was a winner over course and distance on his penultimate outing and having rattled the crossbar off 65 at Windsor last time, appears primed to hit the frame once again off just 1lb higher.
Race 4 – FIFTY GRAND SLATER 5/1
FIFTY GRAND SLATER can roar home at Wolverhampton and find the scoresheet for the first time in this novice stakes.
Amy Murphy’s youngster bumped into George Boughey’s Asadna when second at Ripon on debut, a performance that earned the son of Kodiac a crack at the Woodcote at Epsom on his next start where he ran better than the finishing position of eighth may suggest.
He raced very keen and prominent on that occasion before fading late in the day, but it was a performance which suggests he is more than capable of holding his own at a decent level.
This looks much easier and with the drop back to five furlongs also in his favour, he could take some catching.
