Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: O McSweeney| T: A Keatley| OR: 103| C

14/1

Has been a cracking flagbearer for this yard, winning 3 times here. Eighth of 22 in the Ebor here over 13.9f (25/1) 49 days ago. This is easier.

Teumessias Fox⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 103| D

20/1

Smart gelding who made a winning return in 14-runner handicap at Kempton in March. Finished 4th of 5 in listed race at Beverley (11/2) 98 days ago. Would make more appeal on AW.

Form: 50-1304

Insanity⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: A King| OR: 99

13/2

Won at Ayr in June and has run well in last two starts. Close second of 10 in a handicap at York (10/1) 50 days ago, unlucky not to win after being denied a run before leading entering last half-furlong. Big shout over this shorter trip.

Form: 0-61032

Erzindjan¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Kent| OR: 99

9/4

Improved since joining current yard, running well at York over this distance in July and August and fourth of 23 in Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (28/1) 14 days ago, finishing strongly after being hampered, first home by wide margin in stand-side group. Obvious claims.

Form: 000-474

Mustazeed²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 92| D

28/1

Won a 10f handicap at Newbury (11/1) 21 days ago, staying on well to lead in the final 50 yards despite a slow start. That may have been his day and he's probably vulnerable for the follow-up.

Form: 0-94571

Take Heart^p⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 90| D

16/1

Won at 2024 Glorious Goodwood but has struggled for form this year, finishing last of 12 in handicap at Sandown (28/1) 42 days ago when taken wide and eased. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 6-96600

Per Contra^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 89| D

11/1

Consistent performer who was 2nd of 15 in handicap over this C&D (6/1) 49 days ago and won decisively in 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (4/1) 13 days ago. Can go well again.

Form: 363271

Have Secret^v²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 89| D

20/1

Might have needed the run when 10th of 13 in handicap at Ayr (22/1) 23 days ago after 10-week break. Has gone well here previously.

Form: 132000

Two Brothers^v²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 88| CD

50/1

Won C&D handicap a year ago. Last of 10 in handicap at Chester (28/1) on return 28 days ago, never involved back from 10 months off. Might have needed that and record second time out (successful last 2 seasons) bodes well.

Form: 06010-0

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: A Mullen| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 86| D

Forecasts

Erzindjan (9/4), Champagne Prince (11/2), Tony Montana (6/1), Insanity (13/2), Per Contra (11/1), Grey Cuban (12/1), Albany (12/1), Kihavah (14/1), Take Heart (16/1), Andaleep (20/1), Have Secret (20/1), Teumessias Fox (20/1), Mustazeed (28/1), Two Brothers (50/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (100/1)

ERZINDJAN has run 3 mighty races in good handicaps for his new yard this year, undone by the draw bias in the Cambridgeshire last time, and can get a deserved change of luck and end a long losing run here. Insanity looked unfortunate not to win himself at the Ebor meeting and has strong claims. Two Brothers is interesting at likely bigger odds.
