🤖 AI race preview

Daler emerges as the standout on form, having produced a strong performance in soft ground at Leopardstown last month where he held off a front-running challenge to win over 1m1f in first-time cheekpieces, with a consistent RPR of 83 and OFR of 83 suggesting a solid, reliable pace in midfield or behind. His recent run at Ballinrobe, where he stayed on well from behind after a headway from over two furlongs out, supports his ability to handle the distance and ground, and his draw of 8 may allow him to settle in the middle of the field before making a late push. The main dangers are Marmeladova, who has shown improvement in soft conditions and is a left-handed runner with a strong RPR of 90, and Out On Friday, a veteran front-runner with a strong record at right-handed tracks and a recent second at Fairyhouse, who may be able to set the tempo early. Each-way value is present in Faro Island, who has shown resilience on yielding ground and improved with a cheekpiece, while Sinbad My Dad, returning after five months off, offers a potential surprise in the middle of the field.
