REDCAR
* Michael Bell has made a good start with his juveniles, and Promenade should be able to follow up her Leicester win in the opening contest.
* Theatre Time showed fairly useful form last year, and he faces just three rivals on his return in the mile-and-a-quarter maiden.
* Tim Easterby's Boss Man looked the type to do better this year, and he's upped to a trip which should suit for his handicap debut in the closing ten-furlong event.
Left-handed Redcar is perfectly flat with normal characteristics and provides an excellent gallop.
WINDSOR
* Prince of Denmark has made an impressive start to his career, but he'll have to see off some well-bred newcomers if he's to maintain his unbeaten record in the opening novice stakes.
* There's some smart performers amongst the ten runners for the listed race at 7.15, including Demonstrate who should have come on for his reappearance run at Ascot behind Serieux.
* Kelpie improved on all-weather over the winter, and if she can translate that form back to turf she has a leading chance in the classified stakes at 7.45.
Windsor is laid out in a figure-of-eight pattern. The track is rather sharp but there is a five-furlong run-in and the turn into the straight has been eased.
In bocca al lupo! gattos...
Allegria di naufragi
E subito riprende - il viaggio - come - dopo il naufragio - un superstite - lupo di mare (G. Ungaretti)
