🤖 AI race preview

Thickthorn Tom leads the pace appeal with a strong recent showing at Stratford where he surged from fourth to second under pressure, carrying a 168lb weight and a 102 RPR, with a 103 OFR suggesting a competitive effort despite a class drop from hurdles; his form over fences, including a win in a similar 2m3f contest, and a clear improvement in positioning after the 2½-length victory, makes him the standout in this weak field. Atreides, though carrying a 6lb higher mark than his recent wins, remains a hard-to-oppose presence with a 100 OFR and 105 RPR, having shown resilience in recent outings, though his lack of recent form over this distance and poor course record diminish his edge. The main danger comes from Thank You Blue, who rediscovered form at Cartmel with a 2-length effort despite a 109 RPR, and Atlanta Brave, whose first-time blinkers failed to make a difference and who has struggled since a third-place finish at Hereford; both offer value at the forecast price, with the latter being a notable each-way player due to his inconsistent record.
