🤖 AI race preview

Quebecois leads the pace appeal with a strong recent showing at Cheltenham where he held the lead and kept on strongly under 150lbs, supported by a consistent RPR of 163 and a solid 139.0 OR in a Class 1 contest, making him the most compelling contender despite a long layoff; his headgear change to t and trainer Paul Nicholls’ track record in intermediate chases add to his credibility. Country Mile, though recently placed at Cheltenham, has shown resilience in good going and maintains a competitive RPR of 158, with a recent win at Uttoxeter, offering a sharp danger in the midfield. El Capitaine, while out of form, has a strong track record in soft ground and a low RPR of 143, making him a potential late mover, while Leading Choice, despite a poor recent run, remains a value at the forecast price with a low OFR of 108 and a consistent 131 RPR, though his lack of recent jumps and soft-ground performance limit his appeal.
