ROCKSILLA can cause a bit of an upset in the Ladbrokes Handicap at Windsor.

On face value, the Rock Of Gibraltar filly would appear to have little chance following a largely abject season.

There were, however, small signs of a revival at Newmarket last month to indicate a return to form could be within the boundaries of expectation.

Rocksilla showed up pretty well for a long way in a six-furlong handicap at Headquarters before she got swamped on the dash to the line, eventually finishing sixth.

That nonetheless was a marked improvement on a summer campaign in which she was set some pretty stiff tasks but ultimately failed to deliver.

As a consequence of her lean spell, she has now fallen to a mark of 77, which is 2lb lower than when she claimed a third victory of 2013 at Yarmouth last September.

Chris Wall's four-year-old also has proven form when there is cut in the ground, which is likely to be the case if the forecast rain arrives.

Cornish Path has been openly campaigned by the wise Henry Candy and her time can finally come again in the Ladbrokes Fillies' Handicap.

The three-year-old filly has not won since she struck in a Kempton maiden last July, but she has been in decent nick this year, with placed finishes at Newmarket, Bath and over this course and distance in August.

Her recent Bath second was particularly interesting as she only went down by a length and a half to Stereo Love, who has since hit the target at Kempton.

That race has been further well advertised as the third horse home, Jersey Brown, has also found her way back in to the winner's enclosure.

With the assessor having shown a modicum of understanding by relieving 1lb for this assignment, Cornish Path can deservedly get her head in front in what is not a great race.

Template can cast exorcise memories of a bruising visit to Wales in August by winning the bathwickcarandvanhire.co.uk Handicap at Salisbury.

Amanda Perrett's chestnut is hardly the most reliable of fellows at any rate, but there were at least excuses for a wayward display in a mile-and-a-quarter handicap at Ffos Las.

The three-year-old son of Iffraaj was found to have broken a blood vessel after he was practically tailed off behind Greyemkay, with connections having given him plenty of time to recover from those exertions.

Despite his inconsistencies, Template still gained a few admirers on two visits to Salisbury this year, finishing second in May and third on his penultimate outing.

Assuming he is back on peak form, a mark of 65 - some 7lb lower than at the start of the season - can be exploited by his canny handler, whose representative will be unfazed by the likely prospect of soft ground.

Sedgefield regular Muwalla has a good chance of securing a third course success in the Betfred "Racing's Biggest Supporter" Handicap Chase.

Chris Grant's seven-year-old has finished second his last two visits to the County Durham circuit, and did especially well over this extended two-mile trip last month.

Muwalla plugged away to finish second behind Pindar and may have got a little closer to the surprise winner had he not got a little tight at the final fence.

Grant's inmate will be having his 11th outing at Sedgefield, so will know the terrain better than most, and is now on the same mark off which he struck by six lengths last September.

Under the assumption the ground does not get too heavy, he should not be too far away.
