🤖 AI race preview

Palladas leads the pace appeal with a strong recent performance at Kempton where he surged from midfield to win by 2¾ lengths in a 1m AW race, backed by a 137lb weight and a 29TS rating, and is the only runner with a recent run at the same distance and going; his 89RPR and 6-5 debut form suggest he is hard to oppose in a race where early movement is likely. Star Of The Desert, despite a recent fourth at Carlisle, remains a value at the forecast price with a 54TS and 86RPR, having shown prominence in a 1m AW race at Southwell just three weeks ago, and may make appeal if he reverts to his debut form. The main dangers are Assiri Heights, who showed a slow start at Salisbury but has a strong pedigree and a 109RPR, and Cullinan Wolf, who has been in touch with leaders at Wolverhampton and Doncaster, with a 10TS and 32RPR suggesting potential for a late surge; both are each-way players with a chance to challenge.
