Pertemps Network Handicap Stakes (gbbplus Race)

Duraji is the highest-rated of these seven and brings experience over today's trip, returning fresh after a 32-day break. His recent form reads modestly on paper, a third two starts back the best of it, and he remains without a win in his last five — but the figures make him the one to beat here.

Bahadur won three starts back and brings trip and going experience to this test, form strong enough to make him a leading threat. The blot is a modest fifth last time out, part of a string of finishes either side of that success that leaves the picture mixed.

Team Player is a leading danger, having won three and four starts back, building on a third five starts back before that. He has raced over today's trip and going before, though his only blot recently is a ninth last time out.

Ride The Thunder has been competitive of late — third two starts back, and second three back — and brings trip and going experience plus the boost of a yard in good form. The blot is a modest sixth last time out, and he remains without a win in his last five starts.

Shrimp Shady's finishing figures include two wins in his last six starts — two back, and four back — but a sixth last time out leaves him with plenty to prove near the foot of these ratings. He does have trip and going experience, so there is some hope of a bold showing despite the modest recent snapshot.
