Tyson is one I don't know too much about right now, to be honest. But he looks like he's got some OK Irish form, and I thought this trip would be a good starting point on the flat track.
1.20 - Windsor - Doyen Quest
We've also got Doyen Quest in the rearranged Hampton Novices' Chase, a Grade 2 race over three-miles. This one is as competitive as you'd expect it to be, however he has run very well and consistently this year, and I think we'll see more of the same here. I think he sets a standard that others have to come up to, but it feels like others in this race can come up to that level, so I don't think we should be favourite here, or anything like that. He does set a good level, though, and I think he will run his race.
1.50 - Windsor - Mirabad & Harper's Brook
We also run Mirabad in a two-mile handicap chase, and we've got Harper's Brook in that same race too. Mirabad is one we did have entered in the novices', but we think this is a better race for him, not least because there's more rain to come, and we feel that slower ground over fences is even better for him. Two miles over slower ground here should really be up his street.
Harper's Brook looks like he's getting back to a threatening mark. He isn't getting any younger, but it feels to me like he's got a race in him every year, and it is normally quite a nice one, so we'll see how it goes. It may get way too soft for him, so we'll keep an eye on the conditions.
2.25 - Windsor - Tranquil Sea
Tranquil Sea then runs in a three-mile handicap hurdle, with young Harry Atkins on board. He hasn't got much weight, obviously, because of that, and he's been consistent in his runs without the handicapper giving him a huge chance really. He won earlier in the season and the handicapper has got hold of him since, but he does stay three-miles well, and seven pound off will definitely give him a squeak here.
