🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a soft, mid-to-late pace with Faro Island the most consistent performer, having led under 1f out and maintained a strong finish in both of his recent outings at Galway and Roscommon, supported by a high RPR of 73 and a favourable draw of 1. His form in yielding conditions and ability to hold ground under pressure make him a hard-to-oppose contender. Afloat stands out on form with a strong showing in soft conditions at Catterick and a clear improvement in recent runs, showing a marked headway over 1f out and a solid RPR of 81, though his 14 draw and lack of recent speed in the distance may limit his early influence. The main dangers are Soaring Sun, who has shown consistent headway on the outer and a strong RPR of 79, and Shambata, who has been in touch with leaders and improved under pressure in recent runs, both of whom could challenge in the closing stages. Zesty Belle, making her first appearance in a handicap, and A Mans Horse, with a low weight and poor form, offer each-way value due to their lack of recent experience and form.
