Verdict

A typically large field for a Windsor handicap and plenty can be given chances on the best of the previous form. However, John Dunlop and Pat Eddery have always been a partnership to fear wherever they have teamed up over the years and this looks to be no exception as the unexposed Coventina has solid claims in this company. Anuvasteel, Fine Steel and Nahane are others who come into the race with solid profiles and have to be placed on the short list. But marginal preference is for the old firm teaming of Dunlop and Eddery to win the day on their last ever visit to Windsor in as trainer and jockey combination. Coventina appreciated the step up to a mile when scoring at Chepstow last time and left the impression that there is plenty more to come from this daughter of Daylami. She steps into handicap company on a fair mark in the low eighties but has the scope to progress further if she is to be persevered with next season. She could not have been found a better jockey to guide around the turns of this unique course and, sentiment aside, she looks the safest option to come out on top today.
