🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested in a moderate tempo with Bold Commander and Litmus Test emerging as the primary pace-setters, given their recent form and draw positions—Bold Commander from 2nd with a strong 2.5l second at Bellewstown and Litmus Test’s 1¼l second at Dundalk in his debut, both on good ground. Bold Commander makes appeal as a well-bred, Moore-up colt with a 63 TS and 81 RPR, showing improvement in his last two runs, including a 2.5l second at Bellewstown where he challenged over the final 110yds, while his 133lbs weight and 2nd draw position suggest a strong chance to contest the lead. The main danger comes from La Tache, who improved from 6th at Curragh to 4th at Fairyhouse in a blinkers debut, showing better late-running ability with a 76 RPR and 40 TS, and Southern Boulevard, who ran 9l behind at Naas but showed early promise with a keen start and 65 RPR. Each-way value is present in Litmus Test, a first-time trainer with a 22% win rate, and The Drambling Man, a first-time headgear runner with a 62 RPR and recent improvement at Bellewstown, though his form remains inconsistent.
