Newbury · 13:55 · Saturday, 18 July 2026 · 1m2f · Good To Firm · Class 1

🤖 AI race preview

The race is expected to see a strong early pace with Persica, drawn in the inside, likely setting the tempo from the front or mid-portion of the field, supported by his recent form and consistent RPR/OFR figures (123/114), while Oceans Four, despite a first-time appearance in a Listed race, makes a compelling appeal with a notable improvement at Royal Ascot and a solid record in Group-level contests over similar distances. Persica stands out as the most consistent performer in the field, having finished second in two Group 1 races over 1m2f and showing resilience in recent outings, including a close second at Sandown and a strong midfield effort at Ascot, with a clear ability to hold ground under pressure. The main danger comes from Al Zanati, who showed promise in the Classic Trial and has a track record of finishing in the top three at key meetings, while Silawi, though with a long absence, remains a hard-to-oppose presence due to his strong prior performances in top-tier races and a high RPR of 123, making him a value at the forecast price. Midak, despite a poor showing at Goodwood, offers an each-way player at the price with a potential for a late surge, while Oceans Four’s debut in a Class 1 contest presents a notable first-time headgear opportunity.
