Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap (Div I)
🤖 AI race preview
The race is likely to be run at a moderate tempo with early pressure from the front-runners, particularly from Hear The Drums, who has shown consistent ability to hold ground and lead under pressure in recent outings, including a win at Southwell on improved ground. Hear The Drums stands out on form with a strong recent run at Southwell where he led and kept on well, backed by a solid RPR of 67 and a clean record in the last two starts, despite a class drop from Cl5 to Cl6; his draw of 6 offers no positional disadvantage and he is a hard-to-oppose contender in a field where many have struggled to maintain headway. The main danger comes from Book Of Life, who has shown resilience in tough conditions and has a strong track record at Newcastle, including a second-place finish in a similar race last month, while Blairtum Night, making his first appearance in a Class 6 race, presents a notable each-way value with a solid RPR and recent form in good-to-softer going, though his draw of 1 may offer a slight advantage in the early stages.
