🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be run at a moderate to firm tempo with early leaders expected from the front or mid-pack, given the strong pace figures and consistent performances from runners like Spirit Of Applause and The Tunguska Event, who have shown ability in similar conditions. Sea Her Excel stands out as the most compelling performer, having made all at Ayr in June and returned to form with a strong finish under Elle-May Croot at Pontefract, despite a wide draw and a recent off-colour run; his improved RPR (74), consistent class performance, and recent form make him a hard-to-oppose contender. The main dangers are Great, who has struggled with late starts and pace in recent outings, and Sams Xpress, who showed early aggression at Chester despite a poor result, with a high RPR and a strong inside draw offering a potential late surge; both are worth a second look as each-way players at the forecast price.
