🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be run in a moderate tempo with Trubshaw emerging as the strongest contender on form, having secured a first-place finish at Killarney last month under favourable conditions and showing consistent ability to hold position and push through the closing stages despite a recent dip at Down Royal. His recent run at Listowel, where he finished second in a Good-To-Yielding contest with a strong position and clear progress after the final furlong, supports his appeal, while his RPR of 110 and 161lbs suggest he is well-matched to the yielding going. A notable danger is Kilbarry Alexy, making his hurdling debut after a series of mid-to-rear performances with consistent headway, and Bunker Buster, who has shown a tendency to challenge late with a strong finish at Punchestown and a recent unseating incident that may indicate a high-risk, high-reward profile. Each-way value may also lie in Misterous Flechois, whose low RPR of 74 and recent form suggest a potential underdog appeal despite a poor showing at Listowel.
