Result: Finished 5th / 7 ran

Charter Party finished 5th here, which was a bit disappointing, but perhaps the track constraints at Windsor did not entirely suit him. Notably, this race marked the very first time I found myself in the exact same parade paddock as another chaser who would later play a massive part in my racing story: Ardent Spy.
