It’s Berkshire Winter Million Weekend! All eyes will be on Windsor this afternoon as a host of stars take to the field, including Caldwell Potter and Gidley Park.
1.50 Windsor – Advantage Caldwell Potter and Gidley Park
Caldwell Potter He made an exhilarating start to his life over fences when he scored at Carlisle before finishing third behind Gangu Bey at Cheltenham last month. He’s a good jumper, travels the way he suits this journey and looks like the one to beat in the Fitzdares Lightning Novices chase.
Gidley Park He showed useful form over obstacles but has long been seen as the future chaser of Harry Fry. He suffered an arrhythmia when he was pulled from the jousting bracket at Kempton and that will tell us more.
You wear it well She has yet to match her hurdles over fences, while Personal Ambition will have the right to finish second at Ascot.
3.00 Windsor – Address of Blocking Durox, Langer Dane and Salver

Kerry Lee Asad Noman He is the consistent type who showed he is still as good as ever when claiming the Hereford Handicap before Christmas, while Taller than – Still far from the 160 mark – He will need to show more than he did behind Lucky Place in Cheltenham.
3.35 WINDSOR – Cabral de Mathane and Navajo Indy compete over a valuable handicap
A typically competitive race for the prize with Cabral de Mathane heading the market for Paul Nicholls.
Paul Nicholls Cabral de Mathane He put in a superlative effort when narrowly denied at Ascot last time out and a bold display can be expected from this top mark by 8lbs.
Navajo Indy He arrived in blistering form, winning his last three starts culminating in an excellent success in the Gerry Fielden Hurdle at Newbury. He still has a lot of improvement to do and is a clear threat.
Eric the hothead He enjoyed a successful season with a win at Cheltenham before finishing second at the same track and cannot be ruled out despite the move at this level. Sovereign Disability Obstacle FitzDar.
Secret squirrel, Beat the bat and Hansard Complete the shortlist.
