John Smith's Stayers' Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
🤖 AI race preview
A mid-pace to steady tempo is expected, with Secret Force and Cruden likely to shape the early running, though the draw of 10 and 3 respectively suggests a potential for a more defensive start from the latter. Secret Force makes appeal with a strong recent performance at Pontefract over 2m2f on good to firm, where he stayed on well and improved his RPR to 91, and his first win in a staying race under this headgear combination, while carrying a modest 133lbs and showing consistency in distance and going. The main danger comes from Cruden, who has shown resilience in soft ground at Goodwood and is well-positioned on a 133lb mark with a high RPR of 92, and from Terrorise, who returns to the race for the first time with a new tongue-tie and a 1lb lower mark after a poor showing in the last start, making him a notable each-way player at the forecast price.
