All today's tips ›Scavengers Reign No. 5
Callum Pritchard · James Owen
✓ Distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (10/42, 14 days)
Scavengers Reign is our selection, and she looks the right one to side with despite sitting a few pounds behind the top-rated Piping Rock on our figures. She brings a fitness edge, a progressive profile and the more solid book of form, qualities that count for plenty over this 20-furlong trip on good ground at Windsor. Piping Rock is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, with Admiral Stewart and Le Tiep's Sacre both only a pound behind him and entitled to make this a proper contest. Even so, Scavengers Reign's reliability and improvement make her the one to be on.

Isabelle Ryder (5)
Jamie Snowden 11/26
Admiral Stewart arrives with a solid book, finishing second last time out and a fourth two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while the yard is flying at 11 from 26 in the last fortnight. The one concern is a 210-day absence, so fitness is the question.

Olly Murphy 8/41
King Jon Oliver won four starts back and was a fourth two starts back, but he has pulled up in two of his last three outings and returns after 205 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, though 160 lb is a big burden for a 114-rated gelding.

Scavengers Reign arrives in good heart after a second last time out, just 17 days ago, and she has a win four starts back plus a third three starts back in her recent form. She has run over today's trip and going, though 159 lb is a stiff burden.

Ben Jones
Ben Pauling 4/21
Legal Weapon is hard to fancy after a fall last time out and an unplaced run before that, yet he is winless in his last five and ranked last of six on our figures. A fourth, another fourth and a second further back show some ability, and he has had 17 days to recover.
