Exciting Jumps Racing Action at Windsor Live on Sky Sports Racing this Sunday
Fleur de Lys Chase: Protektorat and Handstands face Off in a Fierce Duel
The centerpiece of the day’s racing is undoubtedly the Fleur de Lys Chase, featuring a competitive lineup of six strong contenders. Leading the charge is the experienced eleven-year-old Protektorat, last year’s commanding winner, who remains a major threat for trainer Harry Skelton.
In his previous victory, Protektorat showcased remarkable dominance by winning with an astonishing 23-length margin over Djelo. Although this year’s competition appears more intense, his proven ability to perform at such a high level makes him one to watch closely.
Handstands, under Ben Pauling’s guidance, carries less weight but still commands attention due to his excellent recent form. He claimed triumph in last season’s Grade One Scilly Isles chase at Sandown but will be eager to bounce back after a disappointing effort in the Betfair Chase.
Matata,who recently returned to winning ways with a handicap success at Cheltenham,steps up here facing tougher rivals and longer distances-offering an intriguing challenge for this improving competitor.
The Hampton Novices’ chase: Salver and Moon Rocket Lead an Impressive Field
The rescheduled grade Two Hampton Novices’ Chase promises plenty of excitement as notable horses like Salver, Moon Rocket, and others vie for top honors.
Salver, trained by Gary and Josh Moore, impressed with fluent jumping when victorious at Sandown last December but faltered later in Kempton’s Kauto Star Novices’ Chase. With softer ground conditions anticipated and cheekpieces added, he looks set for critically important improvement on Sunday.
Moon Rocket’s
Wade Out’s Doyen Quest and Jeriko Du Reponet also merit attention in what could develop into a tactical race full of surprises.
