Richard Hannon's two runners are on our shortlist here, Red Rossini and My Dixie Darling, along with Terry Mills' runner Court Approval. But we'll plump for Red Rossini. The selection was fourth last time out at the more testing Ascot, and previously has a second to her name, and with Richard Hughes on board, looks the pick of a fairly moderate bunch. The other Hannon runner, My Dixie Darling is making her racecourse debut and may need the run to learn about the game, while Court Approval has some form to go on. An impressive debut was followed up with an entry into the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, but that company was far too good for her, so the drop down could see her make her mark. Only four of the declared 11 runners have had two races, and there are some debutants, so look for any notable market support. But Richard Hannon always does well at Windsor and we'll take him to land the opener with Red Rossini.
