Lancelot Du Lac – runs at Windsor
LANCELOT DU LAC and Tropics both line up this evening in the Listed Race at Windsor over 6f, due off at 7.25pm and at the weights, they both face a big ask.
The seven-runner Weatherbys Hamilton Leisure Stakes was won by Tropics back in 2015 but he was rated 115 back then. Now, despite a resurgence in the twilight of his racing career with three handicap wins in his last six runs, he is rated 102 and at 50/1 has it all to do under Jack Duern.
Lance is rated 107 on the turf, three pounds lower than his all-weather rating and Tropics’ younger stable mate also has a fair bit to find on ratings and the Good To Firm ground is not ideal. Robert Winston rides the 16/1 shot.
Of the two Ivory runners’ rivals, favourite, The Tin Man, who won this in 2016, after a long absence, is best in at the weights and if anywhere near his best, should take all the beating.
