🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a compact early pace with Count Bezukhov and According To Mark setting the tempo from the front, though Hatteen and Shoof Baeed offer potential for a late surge given their recent performances and RPRs. Count Bezukhov stands out with a strong 89 RPR and a win at the Curragh over this trip, having led and kept on in a first-time tongue-tie, while his 136lbs weight and draw of 3 suggest a clear advantage in a field where form and distance are aligned. The main danger comes from Brave Hunter, a first-time performer with a solid run at Newmarket and a 94 RPR, though his 0-6 record and recent lack of consistency make him a risky inclusion; Sea And Sun, despite a narrow loss, offers value at the forecast price with a 79 RPR and recent form in similar conditions, though his weaker record in the last two starts limits his appeal.
