🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate tempo with Tyson Fury emerging as the strongest contender, having shown consistent form in recent hurdles with a third in a 2m maiden at Galway where he was in touch with leaders and maintained headway before fading, supported by a strong RPR of 124 and a solid 166lb weight — a mark that suits his staying ability. He is the most complete of the field, with a clear track record in similar conditions and a recent run that suggests he can hold his own under pressure, making him the one to beat on the day. Cooladdi presents a notable danger with a clear win in a 2m5f maiden at Roscommon last year and a recent effort where he tracked leaders and stayed competitive, though his RPR of 102 is slightly lower and his form has been inconsistent since. Blue Johnl and Mystery Decision, both first-time hurdlers with limited experience, offer each-way appeal due to their debut status and potential for improvement, while Phyllis Rodda and Mahlers Best remain unproven in hurdles despite recent appearances.
