🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested under a steady tempo with early leaders expected to establish a clear run, particularly from horses with recent form in touch with leaders and strong RPRs, such as Calico and Jpr One, both of whom have shown consistency in good to firm going. Calico stands out as the most compelling, having raced in touch with leaders in three of his last three runs despite a class drop and a recent weakening run-in, with a solid RPR of 163 and a strong course record at Cheltenham, where he has shown resilience in tough conditions. The main dangers are Traprain Law, who has shown ability to hold ground in heavy conditions and has a recent win in soft ground, and Soul Icon, who has demonstrated a strong late rally in two of his last three runs and is a value each-way player at the forecast price.
