🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady tempo from the front, with Long Shot emerging as the most compelling performer on form, having consistently held strong in recent starts and shown improvement under David Allan at Catterick and Redcar, where he led and pressed the pace despite being challenged; his 52 OFR and 71 RPR reflect a solid, if not elite, claim, and the drop to Class 6 may offer a value appeal for a horse with a track record of making the frame. Northern Tempest presents a notable danger due to his recent third at Redcar in good ground and a 56 OFR/70 RPR, supported by a 5lb reduction and a bonus 5lb from Rhys Elliott, while Lamlash Bay, with a fifth at Doncaster in good ground and a consistent run in recent starts, offers a credible each-way player at the forecast price. Soul Warrior, despite a poor run at Doncaster, remains a potential surprise with a 59 OFR and a 1-2-3 finish in his 2yo campaign, though his form has not translated to this level.
