🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested in a mid-to-late pace, with Warners Cross and Babychino positioned to challenge from the front or mid-pack, though the latter’s strong recent form and consistent placing record suggest she may hold the upper hand in the early stages. Babychino makes the strongest appeal on form, having placed second under Sophie Carter at Stratford last month with a clean run and solid RPR of 104, and is now competing off a familiar mark with improved headgear and a clear track record in similar conditions. A key danger is Starshine Legend, who showed promise in his flat outings and benefits from refitted cheekpieces, while Iamcelestialgift, a first-time hurdle performer with blinkers, presents a notable risk despite a poor recent showing in the 2m7f handicap. Each-way value may lie in the more consistent performers like Gone In Sixty, who has held on well in recent runs, and Dynamite Defense, who outpaced expectations at C&D last month despite a shaky profile.
