🤖 AI race preview

Handlethekettle emerges as the most compelling performer, having secured two first-place finishes in recent Worcester outings under consistent conditions and maintaining a strong RPR of 122 despite a class drop, with a solid 154lb weight and a track record of staying in contention through the run-in. His recent form at 3rd in a 2025 Ffos Las run under pressure shows resilience, and his 170lb weight suggests a well-balanced workload, while his draw of 3 positions him favourably in a field where early pace is likely to be contested. Theatre Tom and Harry present notable dangers—Tom’s recent fourth-place finish at Worcester with a 142lb weight and a tendency to lose ground late, and Harry’s 14½-length finish in a recent Cl4 with a 158lb weight and a strong RPR of 124, both showing potential to challenge in the closing stages. Scottish Anthem, making his first appearance at a handicap hurdle, offers a value each-way player at the forecast price due to his recent form in lower-class races and a 156lb weight, though his lack of recent hurdle experience and poor timing in prior runs suggest cautious optimism.
