Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (Group 1) (No Geldings)
🤖 AI race preview
The race is likely to see a strong early tempo with the front-runners — Raaheeb, Pierre Bonnard, and Shaihaan — all possessing solid recent form and early pace, though the draw positions suggest a potential midfield challenge from Christmas Day and James J Braddock. Raaheeb stands out with a consistent ability to lead and maintain clear advantage over distance, backed by a strong performance at Sandown and a clean start at Ascot, while his 112 OFR and 125 RPR suggest a well-balanced, competitive profile that makes him a hard-to-oppose threat in a field of 8. The main dangers are Action, who showed a lack of stamina in his Epsom run despite leading, and Benvenuto Cellini, who has shown improvement in recent starts with a clear headway and consistent pace, particularly in good-to-firm conditions; both are each-way players at the forecast price with potential to challenge in the closing stages.
