Archduke Ferdinand^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 86| CD

7/1

Landed this race a year ago and added to his tally at Redcar in May. Hasn't been able to match that level since, though possibly unsuited by track when seventh of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 10/1) 12 days ago. Not ruled out.

Form: 515007

Addison Grey⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 88| BF| D

5/2

Made it 2 wins from first 3 starts when completing a simple task at Salisbury in July. Improved on that effort when third of 14 on handicap debut at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 4/1) 9 days ago and he's respected with more still to offer.

Form: 1-713

Silver Samurai^t,p⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Botti| OR: 85| CD

16/1

Winner of this race in 2023 and has been working his way back to form this season, nearest at the finish when ½-length fifth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 20/1) 49 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 4-58275

Binhareer⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| D

7/2

Dropped in trip, showed much improved form when doubling his tally in 12-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 13/2) 40 days ago, scoring in good style. Looks capable of following up with further progress to come.

Form: 514-71

Cayman Tai¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 83

10/1

Without a win so far in handicaps, but after 11 weeks off (had a gelding operation) he took a step forward when second of 10 at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 14/1) 16 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Form: 27-2742

Gressington⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: E Bethell| OR: 80| D

10/1

Won a pair of handicaps last season but form has been mixed during the current campaign, one of lesser efforts when fifth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 8 days ago. Capable if on a going day.

Form: 5-03845

Sensorium²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Egan| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 79

25/1

Fairly useful at 2 yrs, winning a Beverley maiden and third in valuable sales race at York. After 11 months, finished well held on softer ground than previously in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 23 days ago. Has something to find.

Form: 30313-0

Ezra Cee³¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 72| D

10/1

Successful in Windsor maiden for Kevin Philippart de Foy on last year's return. Showed promise starting out for Adrian Nicholls in September, but well held in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 16/1) next time. Off 10 months ahead of first run for another new yard.

Form: 25/1050-

Strike³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Olivia Tubb⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 72| CD

13/2

Winner of this race in 2022 and also scored 3 times last year. Made the frame first 4 starts this season, before a rare below-par effort when last of 18 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 35 days ago. Could bounce back.

Form: 422450

Grenham Bay^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 70| D

40/1

Better than ever when making all at Kempton in February. Hasn't been in the same form since, seventh of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago, but is back down to his last winning mark as a result.

Form: 316967

(3)

Rokuni^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Tyler Heard| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 52| D

200/1

Seventeen runs since sole success in 2024. From his falling mark, ran better than previous outing when third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 7/1) 19 days ago, but he's a long way out of the weights in this higher grade.

Form: 704463

Forecasts

Addison Grey (5/2), Binhareer (7/2), Strike (13/2), Archduke Ferdinand (7/1), Ezra Cee (10/1), Gressington (10/1), Cayman Tai (10/1), Silver Samurai (16/1), Sensorium (25/1), Grenham Bay (40/1), Rokuni (200/1)

BINHAREER proved well suited by the drop to 6f when running out an impressive winner at Ayr last month and he can continue his improvement to make it back-to-back victories. Addison Grey also found some progress sent handicapping last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Silver Samurai who won this race back in 2023.
