Windsor hosts Monday Night Racing

Windsor plays host to a six-race Flat card on Monday, with live coverage across the afternoon and evening on Sky Sports Racing.

7.15 Windsor: Badri hunts a fourth straight win in Sprint Series Final

The feature contest of the night, the Fitzdares Sprint Series Final Handicap over six furlongs, sees Badri bidding to extend his winning run to four races in a row.

The gelding has been a model of reliability for his connections, racking up 15 victories from 75 career starts, and his last three outings have all ended in the winner's enclosure at Pontefract. Those successes have pushed his official rating from 89 up to 99, his highest mark since March 2024.

According to Racing TV, the race attracted 16 runners and carries a first prize of £41,232, with Badri sent off as the 9/2 second-favourite off his rating of 99.

The Racing Post's racecard for the meeting, meanwhile, confirms the contest is run over 6f 12y as a Class 2 handicap restricted to three-year-olds and upwards, as detailed by Racing Post.

Another Abbot heads back to Windsor hoping to repeat his course-and-distance win from a fortnight ago, having previously run well when chasing home Amazing Journey, who subsequently claimed the International Handicap on King George Day at Ascot. That piece of form stacks up strongly, and he could prove difficult to pass.

Sudden Flight has been the picture of consistency, finishing runner-up in each of his last three starts, one of which came behind Another Abbot two weeks ago. Victory has proved elusive for him since last July, but he now meets William Haggas's runner on more favourable terms and looks certain to give a good account of himself.

6.15 Windsor: Harry Knows and Keep Kicking On renew rivalry

Two recent winners, Harry Knows and Keep Kicking On, go head-to-head in the Fitzdares Nursery Handicap.

Harry Knows impressed with a stylish success at Windsor last time out, earning a three-pound hike in the weights that may not be enough to halt his momentum.

Keep Kicking On also arrives in form, having landed the odds over this same course and distance three weeks ago when finishing strongly, and there could be further improvement to come.

This Moment carries the hopes of connections having previously run as Bow Echo, and steps into nursery company for the first time. Off a mark of 79, he warrants respect given the strong recent form of trainer George Boughey and jockey Billy Loughnane, and he is an intriguing contender first time out following a gelding operation.

5.45 Windsor: Mythological Star attempts to overcome penalty

Mythological Star tops the field in the Find Us At fitzdares.com Apprentice Handicap, shouldering a six-pound penalty following his victory at Ffos Las.

Gelded ahead of his debut, this half-brother to Astro King finally got his head in front at the fourth attempt last time out, scoring in workmanlike fashion. His narrow defeat on the previous start had hinted at the win to come, and he justified support as the well-backed favourite in good style for trainers Daniel and Claire Kubler.

Hello Cotai found Epsom too much for him last month, but that run came on the back of a win at Windsor followed by a respectable third at Epsom, before he trailed home last of four. He may well emerge as the biggest threat to the favourite.

What happens next

Once the Sprint Series Final is run, attention turns to the 8.15 finale on the same card, with the meeting scheduled to run from 5.45pm through to 8.15pm on good to firm ground, according to Racing TV. Full racecards and results from the meeting will be available afterwards via Racing TV's results service.
