Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Mavis Pike gets the nod in this 20-furlong Windsor contest, sharing a rating of 99 with Independent Lady and just a pound behind the top-rated Dalcassian Girl, so there is next to nothing between them on figures. We prefer her for the more solid book of form and a progressive profile, which count for plenty over this extended trip on good ground. Dalcassian Girl is the obvious danger given her narrow rating edge, while Independent Lady, level with our pick, and Morissette, four pounds adrift, also have to be respected in a competitive field of twelve. This is far from a confident call, but Mavis Pike is the selection.

Mavis Pike arrives in good heart after a second last time out and a third the start before, and at 19 days since her last run she should be fit. She has run on today's going, and her one reservation is that she is yet to win in recent starts, though our figures rate her third of twelve.

Morissette arrives fit enough after 30 days off and has run on today's going, while our rating of 95 ranks her fourth of 12 and sits above her official mark of 90. The risk is a winless run in her last five, including sixths in her last two outings, with 161 lb to carry.

Sophie Power was sixth last time out and has been pulled up and beaten in the interim since her win five starts back, while a 217-day absence raises fitness questions. She has run on today's going and our rating of 92 is a shade above her official 89, but 160 lb is a hefty burden.

Border Gem is consistent without being a threat to win, finishing fourth last time out and fifth twice in her last five, with a second four starts back her best effort. She has run over today's trip and going, and 24 days off is fine, but she is winless in that spell and carries 160 lb.

Georgie's Lady unseated last time out, but she was fifth and fourth in the two runs before that and is back quickly after just 13 days, with experience of today's going. She is winless in her last five and carries 160 lb off 90, which holds her back.

Mrs Biddle was pulled up last time out and has been off for 83 days, so she is hard to fancy, yet she has run over today's trip and going and was second three starts back. Carrying 158 lb off 87, she is winless in her last five and ranked tenth of twelve on our figures.

Mistress Fox is winless in her last five and was beaten into seventh last time, and returns from a 157-day break, so she's hard to fancy under 155 lb. A second two starts back and experience of today's trip and going are the best points in her favour.

Fourth last time out and a second two starts back, Dalcassian Girl is fresh from a run 16 days ago and has been on the go on today's going before; our rating of 100 puts her top of the 12. Yet to win in her last five, she must still shoulder 149 lb, the main risk.
