A typical tough Windsor handicap that may fall to Terminate, with Bridegroom and Selika the likely dangers. Neville Callaghan's gelding has been in hot form on the all-weather, recording two impressive victories at Lingfield. There was no disgrace in his recent defeat by by Asharon and if transferring that form to the turf he will be hard to beat. Bridegroom has just had the two outings, the second an impressive victory at Wolverhampton. He has plenty of scope for improvement and will have been hard to assess, he should make the frame. Selika was no match for Takhmin at Pontefract, but that form looks pretty solid and he should go well despite top-weight. Gibraltar Boy and Tuvalu are two others worthy of a mention, but Terminate still looks on a fair mark and gets the decision.
