Verdict
Aragon Knight won his maiden over track and trip but made no impression on his handicap debut at Windsor. The maiden Just Glamorous will likely find at least one too good again but there are possibilities about Nottingham fourth Princess Tansy under a 5lb claimer and Conor Dore's pair Desert Strike and should be thereabouts with the top weight only raised 3lb for a recent course and distance victory. FINE 'N DANDY doesn't have a great strike rate and was tailed off the last time he ran over this track and trip. But he should do better this time having held his own in better company on the all-weather lately.
