🤖 AI race preview

Al Azd emerges as the most compelling contender, having improved significantly in recent form with a strong second in the King George V handicap over C&D last month, where he demonstrated headway and resilience under pressure, backed by a solid RPR of 102 and a consistent performance across three runs at Ascot and Doncaster. His recent run at Ascot, where he pressed leaders over the final furlong, combined with a favourable draw of 7 and the removal of headgear, suggests a potential for a strong midfield or early-running effort, while his trainer Roger Varian’s 23% win rate in the past 14 days adds credibility. The main danger comes from Theory Of Tides, who showed promise in a second-place finish at Sandown and has improved in pace and position, while Merveilleux Lapin, despite a recent fourth at Pontefract, remains a notable each-way player due to his consistent headway and solid form in handicap conditions.
