🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a moderate tempo with early pressure from the front-runners, particularly from Starlight Sami and State Of Madness, both with strong RPRs (79 and 76) and recent form over similar distances; Sami’s 2026 Salisbury win at 130lbs and consistent performance in C&D conditions gives him a clear edge in the shape, despite a recent dip in form. State Of Madness, with a recent 2nd at Brighton and a solid RPR of 76, makes appeal as a value at the forecast price, especially given his each-way claims and consistent presence in the top half of the field. The main danger comes from Red Hat Eagle, who has won here before and remains a consistent performer despite a recent C&D setback, while Paranjape, making his first appearance with headgear, offers a sharp first-time risk with potential to challenge from midfield.
