CULDAFF looks to have a leading chance on his debut effort over the minimum trip at Windsor. He was closing on the winner at the finish and Charlie Hills' colt should improve for today's extra furlong. Malachim Mist and Ocean Storm have more to find if they're to come out best on the evidence of their debut efforts so one of the newcomers could prove a bigger threat. Faintly may do better over longer trips in the future but Ghasaq is related a Group 3 winning sprinter and Hatha Hooh is a half-brother to a 5f winner. Lanark and Deeds Not Words are others with a bit of speed in their pedigrees.
