🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate tempo with a midfield-to-outer shape, where early leaders may struggle to maintain consistency given the field’s lack of strong pace-setters; Malbas, despite a drop into the 0-100 category, stands out with a solid RPR of 105, a recent second at Kilbeggan in good ground, and a clear track record of resilience under pressure, making him the most credible contender to beat. Dream Shaper, though hampered by a 1lb rise and a recent 3rd in a 3-lap handicap, shows a rare ability to rally in run-ins and has placed in his only two starts at Sligo, offering a hard-to-oppose appeal if the pace settles. The main dangers are Finnicky Filly, who has shown consistent midfield progress and a recent improvement in run-in, and Sneddy Eddie, a three-time Flat winner with a strong run-in and a 101 RPR, who may benefit from softer going despite limited hurdle experience. Each-way value is available in horses like Burlington House and Im Flattered, both making their first appearance in a hurdle race with potential to finish in the top half.
