The Sky Sports Racing cameras head to Windsor for the track’s final flat fixture this season, where Leger hero Saffie Osborne will be in action.
2.42 Windsor – Wootz & Song Of The Clouds lock horns
Impressive scorers Wootz and Song Of The Clouds lock horns in an interesting Novice Stakes.
Roger Varian’s Wootz makes his second start after he scooted clear to win by six-and-a-half lengths at Ffos Las last month. With that victory under his belt, he now carries a 7lb penalty under Ray Dawson.
William Haggas’ filly Song Of The Clouds is the more experienced of the two, finishing second on debut to Ombudsman’s sister Synchronicity in April before winning at Redcar last time out. She gets 5lb from Wootz and that could be crucial.
Debutant Journalism represents Wathnan with James Doyle in the plate for trainer Hamad Al Jehani. He comes here carrying a price tag of 270,000gns and will be a fascinating one to watch.

3.12 Windsor – Waldgeist’s half-sister Crown Of Crowns debuts
Waldgeist’s half-sister Crown Of Crowns is handed her first start by Willliam Haggas, with Tom Marquand in the saddle.
By Frankel out of Waldlerche, she boasts a superb pedigree. Through the dam, she is related to the superstar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and four-timer Group 1 winner.
Seacole is the most experienced here but needs to step forward after only beating one home on handicap debut last month.
George Boughey’s Queen Of Scotland made a pleasing start when runner-up at Goodwood at the end of August and should attract plenty of support, with top jockey Billy Loughnane in the plate.
Elsewhere on the card, Classic-winning rider Saffie Osborne takes three rides, the pick of which could be Hughie Morrison’s last-time-out winner Kiani King (1.42).

Sam England’s runner won here over course and distance last month, beating the reopposing Aimeric.
Earlier on the card, Dan Skelton runs two in the Mares’ Maiden Hurdle (2.30), with brother Harry getting the ride on Tralee Girl. She went close a couple of time last season, ending her campaign with defeat in April at odds of 1-4.
Charlie Todd’s rides debutant Mighty Dink, while Sedgefield bumper scorer You Be Lucky Jean makes her hurdles debut for Micky Hammond.
