🤖 AI race preview

The race is expected to settle in a yielding tempo with early pace likely to be dictated by the midfield group, though the draw of 1 and 2 positions suggests Tabasco River and Major Triumph could challenge from the front. Major Triumph stands out with a strong recent showing in soft conditions at Naas where he finished third, showing improvement in form and a consistent RPR of 42, backed by a solid draw and a trainer with a track record in 2yo performances; his ability to stay in touch and hold ground in the final stretch makes him a hard-to-oppose contender. The main danger comes from Rejoinder, who showed a solid fourth in a soft race at Naas just nine days ago with a sharp late surge, and Sharf Ardad, a first-time starter with a promising RPR and a clean run at Dundalk, offering each-way value despite minimal recent form.
