Verdict
Colinca's Lad was engaged to run at Windsor last night. He's the one to beat if taking part, but if he's a no-show than a chance should be taken on FFAJIR. The slow ground went against her last time, but her earlier second in a maiden at Windsor looks decent form and Clive Brittain's filly could prove good enough on her handicap debut. Diverting beat Smirfy's Silver here last time but the latter is weighted to reverse running, while Cane Cat is holding her form well and wasn't beaten far on the Polytrack on Friday. Forks should have come on for his belated seasonal debut and could also be thereabouts at the finish.
