🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a mid-to-finish tempo with early leaders from the front half of the field, given the mix of runners with recent form over 2m4f on good ground. Larkins Lane stands out as the most compelling performer, having won at both Limerick and Sligo over C&D conditions with strong run-in and consistent headway, backed by a solid RPR of 104 and a recent 2.75-length win at Sligo, suggesting he can maintain pressure through the closing stages. The main dangers are Poppycon, whose maiden hurdle form at Wexford and Tramore shows promise despite a fall, and Papagei, a former flat winner entering hurdles for the first time with a strong recent run at Punchestown and a clear ability to stay on, though his lack of hurdle experience and recent soft ground performances present uncertainty. Lilac Lady and Go To Town offer each-way value with first-time hurdle entries and recent form at Sligo, while Dream Shaper and Mr Erwitt remain unplaced in multiple starts and are hard to oppose in a field of inconsistent form.
