TORBELLINO looks to have leading claims on a third at Windsor over a trip just short of today’s. The runner-up has boosted the form by subsequently winning and John Best’s filly makes more appeal than Badessa. The latter showed some promise when fourth at Wolverhampton last month and can figure while the more exposed Capla Crusader disappointed over a shorter trip at the latter track when last in action and an apprentice takes 5lb off his back on his return having been gelded during the interim. Better is expected from End Over End over this extra distance with Brighton Pier and Hey Gracie newcomers to note.
