🤖 AI race preview

A measured tempo is expected with early pressure likely from the midfield, where Najmet Minzaal and Bellatina sit in draws of 2 and 4 respectively, both carrying 135lbs and showing consistent ability in 5f novice events on good to firm ground. Bellatina stands out on form, having finished second in a clear lead at Hamilton just 13 days ago with a strong RPR of 70 and a recent OR64 effort that saw her head over 2f out, while her trainer’s solid record at the course and competitive class drop into handicaps suggest she is hard to oppose. The main danger comes from Mardy Bum, who showed resilience at Wetherby despite finishing fourth, and Fortunate, a first-time starter with a promising Chester performance that may be amplified by a cheekpiece change and a low handicap rating. Each-way value is present in Lairy Mary, who improved in a winning claimer at Beverley, and Explainingislosing, whose recent form includes a third-place finish despite a poor draw and a slow surface.
