🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady tempo with early positioning key due to the six-runner field and good going, though no clear pace leader is evident from form or draw. Pony Express stands out with a recent second-place finish at Kelso in good conditions, showing improved consistency under Callum Bewley, and a strong RPR of 111 with a TS of 97, suggesting a capacity to hold ground and make a late push — a form and performance profile that makes it the one to beat in a field where most runners lack recent evidence of sustained effort. Maliko Des Pins, a first-time headgear appearance in a Class 5 race, and Grey Day, who showed a sharp drop in form after a touch of the leaders at Sedgefield, present the main dangers — the former with a potential shape advantage and the latter with a recent showing of fragility under pressure, both offering each-way value at the forecast price.
