Flowing Clarets and Rosie Royce among tips for Windsor

Flowing Clarets fancied to collect for Fahey

Trainer Richard Fahey has an excellent record with his runners at Windsor, and Flowing Clarets can take advantage of a drop back in class to provide him with another winner in the 6f claiming stakes on today’s card at the Berkshire venue (14.20).

The North Yorkshire-based handler has a 50 per cent strike rate at the track in the past 12 months, saddling four winners from just eight runners.

In Flowing Clarets he has a filly who has proven form in testing conditions, having notched both her career successes on soft ground.

The last of those came in a seller at Leicester two starts back, where the three-year-old made all to outclass the opposition.

Flowing Clarets then found the competition too hot when stepped back into handicap company and finishing just eighth in a class 3 contest at Hamilton, but did show plenty of early dash to race up with the pace until weakening late on to be beaten 5 1/2 lengths.

This represents a return to much calmer waters and a level in which the daughter of Pastoral Pursuits is entitled to be really competitive on the pick of her form.

Rosie Royce ready to bloom

Rosie Royce has shaped with plenty of promise in three runs this season and looks to have been found a nice opportunity to open her account in the 5f handicap (16.50).
