Archduke Ferdinand silk
Archduke Ferdinand
Selected at: 9/2

Archduke Ferdinand returned to winning ways with a comfortable success at Redcar last time out and the seven-year-old is still well treated, despite going up 5lb as a result. Seb Spencer’s gelding won off a mark of 85 last term and should be in the mix off 6lb lower here.
