The front-running Double Windsor hasn't been getting home though today's quicker ground should enable him to last a bit longer. He had Thywillbedone and Overtures behind when third to Lake Champleon at Gowran but the former, who warmed to her task after early mistakes, was making her debut and can take her revenge. MASTERCHIPPY, who had finished around four lengths behind that winner at Down Royal in August, fell at the third last when in contention at Gowran and is taken to make amends and land this. Vocal Heir was behind Double Windsor at Ballinrobe and looks held but One Cool Poet is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
