Newmarket (July) · 18:58 · Friday, 17 July 2026 · 1m2f · Good To Firm · Class 3

🤖 AI race preview

Pace is likely to be contested with early pressure from the front-runners, though the draw and recent form suggest Darn Hot Gallop, despite a poor run at Ascot, may make appeal from the 4-stall position with a strong RPR of 93 and consistent performance on firm ground; her 1m2f win at Newmarket last April underlines her ability to stay in the mix and she’s the only runner with a recent win on good to firm ground. Al Aali, making his first appearance in a 1m2f handicap, stands out with a solid 88 OFR and 94 RPR after a fifth-place finish at Sandown on firm ground, where he was in touch with leaders and showed headway, suggesting he could be a value at the forecast price despite a recent dip. The main danger comes from High Degree, who has shown resilience in recent starts with a 97 RPR and a second at Newbury, though his struggles to close in the final furlong remain a concern; War Hawk, returning from four months off with a 79 TS and limited recent form, is a first-time headgear risk that could surprise if he recovers his early pace.
