Windsor maidens have been known to throw up useful sorts and this looks a field of some potential as many a leading yard bring unraced or lightly-raced sorts to the table. On such occasions the market frequently proves a useful guide but EMPLOYER displayed plenty of promise on debut at Kempton last November and the son of Camelot should progress and get involved here. Kassar has to give away 7lb to the majority of his field after making a successful all-weather debut but was disappointing next time. But he has to be short-listed here as a proven winner while the likes of Mutafani, Red Striker and Zamandas can reasonably be expected to improve on efforts to date. Also keep an eye on newcomers Croque Monsieur and Dyagilev.
