🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a mid-to-late pace with Whiskey Serenade emerging as the most compelling contender, having shown consistent midfield-to-leading presence in recent outings, including a strong second behind a fellow outsider at Bellewstown where he was prominent and challenged after 2 out, backed by a solid RPR of 104 and a recent improvement in form after a modest maiden effort. His ability to hold ground under pressure, combined with a favourable draw and a clean run at 159lbs, makes him the one to beat in a field where only a few have shown consistent progression. The main danger comes from Pourquoi Poi, who recorded a third at Sligo and has shown resilience despite a fall at Bellewstown, while Granlahan offers a credible challenge with a strong track record in third-place finishes and a solid RPR of 104, though his recent fall at Bellewstown raises concerns. La Tene and Ladiam, both with recent form and headgear changes, are worth a second look as each-way players at the forecast price.
