🤖 AI race preview

A moderate-to-fast pace is likely as Affinity Rock and Ballystone both show recent form in mid-to-lead positions, with Affinity Rock’s consistent run-in effort and 124 RPR suggesting he could hold the early advantage despite a recent dip at Galway. Affinity Rock stands out as the most compelling performer, having posted solid run-in efforts in both recent chase runs at Killarney and Limerick, with a 124 RPR and 159lbs weight supporting a credible challenge, especially given his strong performance in a similar handicap at this track last year. Ballystone presents a notable danger with a 122 RPR and recent improvement in a chasing debut, while Wheres My Jet, despite a poor form run, remains a value at the forecast price with a 122 RPR and a track record at this venue. Each-way players include Happy Me, making appeal on debut with a 100 RPR, and Lemmy Caution, who may benefit from cheekpieces and a chasing debut after a solid novice performance.
