🤖 AI race preview

Harpy Eagle leads the pace appeal with a strong recent run in which he won going away under good ground, backed by a solid RPR of 121 and a 5lb rise that appears lenient given his form and course performance; his ability to stay in the lead and press on in the run-in makes him the most compelling contender. In For The Night shows promise with a recent win at Kilbeggan over the same trip, though a 9lb rise and limited course experience suggest he may struggle to match Harpy Eagle’s consistency. The main danger comes from In The Minus, who won a longer trip at Sligo recently and has shown resilience under patient riding, while Ladiam, despite a poor record, has a history of success over this course and distance, making her a notable each-way player at the forecast price.
