🤖 AI race preview

Pure Grit leads the field on pace and shape, having consistently shown ability to hold the lead inside the final furlong and maintain a strong run in good to firm conditions, with a recent second at Newbury and a similar performance at C&D supporting his form. His 88 RPR and 89 TS, combined with a clear draw of 4 and a consistent 133lbs, make him the most credible contender, particularly given his ability to stay in contention under pressure and his trainer Andrew Balding’s solid recent record. Shakwaa presents a notable danger with a strong closing run in his debut and a 210,000gns pedigree, though his 77 RPR and 69 TS suggest he lacks the stamina to challenge over the distance, while Sovereigns High’s poor form at Windsor and a lack of clear progression in recent outings limit his appeal. Therewearethen and Independent Roze are both underperforming in recent runs, with the latter showing a consistent inability to stay in contention, making them each-way players at the forecast price.
