🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a mid- to late-running tempo with a strong presence from the front-runners, particularly Etawann (1) and Pirate Of Penzance (3), both drawing well and showing consistent form at the front end of their recent runs. Mount Meru (13) stands out with a strong recent performance at Gowran where it challenged under 2f out and finished second in yielding conditions, supported by a high RPR of 84 and a solid 131lb weight, making it a hard-to-oppose contender despite the draw. The main dangers come from Aladdins Cave (2), whose soft-ground form and 82 RPR suggest it could make an appeal in the final furlong, and Silent Kingdom (4), a first-time starter with a notable 133lb weight and a 7th-place finish in heavy conditions, offering a value each-way player at the forecast price.
