🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate tempo with early leaders expected from the front half, favouring runners with strong recent headway and a solid RPR, such as Thatwilldoso, who has shown consistency in midfield to outer positions and improved over 10.5f on good ground last season. Thatwilldoso stands out with a strong recent run at Roscommon where she won off 72lbs, a low draw (1), and a high RPR (84), while maintaining a competitive OFR (78) and a clear improvement in form since her last start, making her a hard-to-oppose contender despite a 6lb rise. The main dangers come from Sir Jeremy, who has shown stamina in yielding conditions and a recent second at Roscommon, and Thyer, a dual 1m winner with a solid track record on good ground, though both are drawn wide and may struggle to find early impetus. Each-way appeal is present from Fratas, who has shown resilience in recent outings, and Ephesus, who has previously won at this venue on soft ground, though both face a lack of recent form in this class.
