        Verdict

        Upper Grosvenor started favourite for his debut at Windsor and though showing good speed weakened quickly at the furlong mark. That will have brought him on and the form looks better than Autumn Fire's defeat at Lingfield, though she should also have benefited from the run. The remainder with experience have shown very little so this can go to the newcomer CHRISTINGLE. William Haggas has his horses in good form and this Cheveley Park-bred filly is closely related to some very speedy and useful performers including Group 2 winner Penitent.
