Windsor 12:59, DJB Property Services Windsor Mares' Handicap Hurdle
Game Colours 7/2, 2pts win
Windsor seems to lend itself to those who like to be ridden prominently and it could be that Ben Clarke's Game Colours increases this trend. The 8 year old improved on her seasonal debut to finish 3rd at Cheltenham in a hotter race than this and she should strip fitter again for that. She could benefit from once again forcing the pace and top conditional jockey Toby McCain-Mitchell is claiming a handy 5 pounds.

Cheltenham 13:25, Betfair Handicap Chase
Excello 12/1, 1pt win
Does He Know 12/1, 1pt win
The long distance handicap chase on the card is a wide open affair with many runners having questions to answer so it may be worth chancing the big outsiders here. Excello is running off the same mark as when beaten under a length at Sandown over this trip last season and seems to prefer this better ground. He's still only 7 and has time to finally come good. Does He Know has already won at the track and is still well weighted on old form. He bounced back with a win at Haydock last time out and is still the class act in here.
