🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady tempo with early pace from the front-runners, and the draw plays a key role—Rlasthope’s inside position and strong recent form in Class 2 company, including a second at Musselburgh and third at Epsom, give him a clear edge in shape and consistency, while his RPR of 84 and OFR of 80 suggest he is well-structured for a mid-to-late run. Rlasthope makes appeal as the most complete performer, having shown resilience and finishing strongly in both his last two outings despite being held back, with a solid draw and class progression from a Cl2 to a restricted novice, offering a hard-to-oppose presence. The main danger comes from Beresford Gap, who improved from a third at Newbury to a better position in a similar class, and Harrys Pop, whose recent form includes a strong start at Chester despite a right-handed hang, making him a potential flashpoint in the middle. Champagne Charlee and Therewearethen, both with poor starts and low RPRs, are each-way players at the forecast price, while Zohar and Stoney Wood, despite modest form, may offer value in the nursery section.
