🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady early pace with the first three to four runners shaping the tempo, given the field’s mix of recent performances on good to firm and the presence of several runners with strong headways from over two furlongs out. Zennor Storm makes appeal with a consistent improvement across four handicap runs, including a strong second in a competitive field at Goodwood under cheekpieces, and his 92 RPR and 132lbs mark suggest he can hold his own despite a 5lb rise; his draw of 4 and recent form on good to firm ground give him a clear edge in the shape. The main danger comes from Le Samourai, who showed clear speed in a second-place finish at Thirsk with a 137lbs weight and a 60 TS, and from Start Me Up, who has shown resilience in recent outings despite a drop in RPR and a first-time tongue-tie, offering each-way value at the forecast price. Krasimir, making his first appearance with cheekpieces, and Exclusive Code, who won at Goodwood with a 9lb rise, are also worth watching as each-way players in a field where several runners have yet to prove their consistency on soft ground.
