Book The Bistro In Seasons Restaurant Handicap

Southwell (AW) · 16:23 · Saturday, 17 October 2026 · 1m13y · Standard · Class 6

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be a mid-to-far-side contest with El Fox emerging as the most compelling presence, having claimed a victory at Southwell just a week ago under favourable conditions and with a strong recent run showing prominence and a clean finish, supported by a high RPR of 74 and a solid OFR of 57 — a marked improvement from his prior form. His draw of 3 offers a clear advantage in positioning, and despite a class drop, his consistency in maintaining a leading role over the final furlong suggests he is hard to oppose in a race where pace may be dictated by early strength. The main dangers come from Aspull, who has shown resilience in tight conditions and a tendency to lead under pressure despite a poor recent run, and Avatar Jet, who has improved in recent outings with a notable 5th-place finish at Southwell and a consistent RPR of 76, though his first-time appearance in a handicap at this level raises questions about his readiness. Each-way value may lie in the first-time entries, particularly Soames Forsyte and The New Bay Pearl, with the latter offering a solid track record in similar conditions despite a long absence.
