🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a slow start with the early pace dictated by the midfield group, with runners like Mans Best Friend and New Bond Street positioned to set the tempo from the front or mid-pack, though both have limited recent form at this distance. Mans Best Friend stands out as the most compelling performer, having finished fourth behind a top-class runner at the Curragh in a similar contest, with a strong RPR of 80 and a consistent 133lb weight, showing resilience in staying on under pressure despite a modest draw of 10. The main dangers come from Exchange Student, who showed promise in a strong maiden at the Curragh with a 69 RPR and improved position, and Mutamarid Lsk, a first-time blinker wearer with a solid 133lb weight and a 24 RPR, who may make an appeal from the back. Each-way value is available in the lower RPRs, with Sapphire Petal and Bettercalltheboss offering potential in the lower tiers despite limited recent form.
