The last race on the card is an open affair but with the draw a huge factor at Windsor we think the finish will be fought out between Katehari, Olney Lass and BASLE with the vote going to the last named. Frankie Dettori rides for Kay Kelleway and this is a notable jockey booking. Frankie has not got the best draw in five but if anyone can get over and bag the rail it's the Italian. It's hard to way up Basle's form but his mark of 73 does not look too harsh. The horse who looks most likely to trouble the selection is Onley Lass. The horse is drawn very well in eight and six furlongs looks like it will be his optimum trip. Paul Pickard takes off 5lbs and she should go well for a trainer who is amongst the winners. Andrew Balding's Katehari will probably go off favourite but judging from his pedigree, he will ideally need further. Others to note are the Fallon horse Key Light (bad draw) and the Ryan Moore horse Ferris Wheel who also has a bad draw. Its Frankie and Basle for us.
