🤖 AI race preview

The race will likely see a contested early pace with a number of runners showing ability to hold ground in heavy conditions, particularly those with recent form in tough going such as Eye Of Dubai and Secret Mistral, both of whom have demonstrated resilience and consistency under pressure. Secret Mistral stands out on form with a strong recent run at Chester under heavy conditions where he finished second, showing a clear ability to push and hold in the rear, backed by a high RPR of 99 and a solid 79 OFR, suggesting he can make an appeal in a field that will be wide and slow. The main dangers come from City Captain, who has been a consistent performer in soft-to-good going and has shown a tendency to lead in key races, and Parisiac, who has improved markedly in recent outings with a strong finish at Ayr under heavy conditions, despite a less favourable draw. Each-way players at the forecast price may include Explosive Finnish, who has shown early pace and a strong start in recent runs, and Canons House, who has a history of being a hard-to-forecast contender with a headgear change and a modest rating.
