Windsor Race 4

Weatherbys Global Stallions App Winter Hill Stakes (Group 3)

Prize Money: $129,151

MILITARY ORDER (1) delivered a comfortable 2L Listed win on Kempton reappearance. Bounced back to form following a pair of below-par subsequent efforts with a neck second in the Rose Of Lancaster Stakes G3 at Haydock attempting latest and is the one to beat. DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (3) may give the main selection most to think about and is interesting back down in trip for a yard going well. ROYAL PLAYWRIGHT (5) placed in the Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes G2 at Newmarket last season. Cannot be confidently ruled out. GREAT DAVID (4) looks up against it among this company.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Last start did the work up front then tired 5th of 7 at Hamilton Park in the LR Glasgow Stakes on July 18 over 2200m, 1.3 len behind Nahraan carrying 60.5kg at $7. The start before that 5th of 12 at Ascot in the G3 Hampton Court Stakes on June 19 over 2010m, 5.5 len behind Trinity College with 58kg at $41. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
