🤖 AI race preview

A measured pace is expected with early leaders likely to emerge from the front or mid-pack, given the field’s mix of runners with recent form on good ground and a few with first-time headgear changes. Abbey Scope stands out with a strong progression, having beaten a subsequent winner at Hexham on his first attempt over this distance and distance, backed by a solid RPR of 131 and a clean run under improved ground conditions, making him the most compelling appeal in the race. The main dangers are Sunray Shadow, who has shown resilience in recent outings despite a 4lb rise and a poor showing at Worcester, and Smugglers Haven, who has a strong hurdle record and a 5lb rise that may be manageable given her recent win at Fontwell. Each-way players at the forecast price include Lipa K, with a return to cheekpieces and a win at Warwick, and Hillview, a four-time hurdle winner returning after a break with first-time headgear.
