🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a mid-pace tempo with Ascending Star and Thursday Girl positioning early, though the draw and recent form suggest a potential for a late surge from the latter, who has shown resilience in secondary positions and remains a respected off-bottom weight. Ascending Star makes the strongest appeal, having won a novice event at Lingfield under favourable conditions and now carrying a modest 134lbs with a high RPR of 84 and a strong recent performance where he kept on inside the final furlong — a pattern that could repeat in a good going environment. The main danger comes from H Key Lails, who has won at Lingfield on turf and is well-positioned with a solid 138lbs and a 1-2 record in similar conditions, while Dovey Moon and Special Ghaiyyath present each-way value due to first-time headgear and recent form, though both carry significant weight and lack consistency in longer trips.
