Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup Stakes (Group 2)
🤖 AI race preview
Caballo De Mar leads the pace appeal from the front with a strong record in soft conditions and consistent performances in the 2m4f to 2m range, backed by a 115 OFR and 124 RPR that suggest a well-balanced effort, while his draw of 1 and recent second-place finish at Ascot under pressure make him a hard-to-oppose contender. He stands out on form with a clean win at Longchamp in soft ground and a second in a Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, both under similar conditions, and his ability to hold ground in the closing stages is evident in his recent run where he stayed with leaders until the final circuit. The main danger comes from Illinois, who showed class at Royal Ascot despite a poor form in the Goodwood, and French Master, who has improved in recent runs with a strong late surge, though his headgear change and lack of ground experience remain a concern. Quickthorn, despite a long layoff, remains a value at the forecast price due to his proven ability on softer ground and front-running style, while Carmers, though unplaced in his last start, offers a notable each-way player with a strong recent performance in a Listed race.
