🤖 AI race preview

Dark Cloud Rising emerges as the most compelling performer, having made all and scored comfortably from a subsequent winner at Ripon 19 days ago under a visor, with a strong recent run at 132lbs and a reliable RPR of 109; his form, course and distance consistency, combined with a favourable draw and a 6lb advantage over the field, makes him the standout in a field where pace is likely to be set by a mid-pack surge. The Strikin Viking presents a notable danger with a recent Group 3 win and return from five months off, though his lack of recent form and poor going record in recent outings diminish his appeal. Beaujolais Nouveau, benefiting from a headgear change and weight drop, shows promise with a recent fifth-place finish at York and a solid RPR, while El Bodon, making his first appearance with cheekpieces, could offer a surprise if he finds rhythm in the closing stages.
