🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be run at a moderate tempo with early leaders expected from the front half, particularly from Shrimp Shady, who has shown consistent headway and strong final-furlong effort in recent outings, including a win at Chester on good ground. Shrimp Shady stands out as the most compelling performer, having won at 2m2f on good ground and maintained a strong RPR of 105 with a solid OFR of 90, despite a recent return to turf after a break; his form at Newbury and Chester, combined with a favourable draw of 10 and a clean run in the last start, makes him the horse to beat. The main dangers are Pole Star, who has struggled with consistency and headgear issues, and Spirit Mixer, who has shown flashes of form but remains hampered by a poor recent run and a lack of recent ground exposure; both are each-way players at the forecast price.
