🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be run at a moderate tempo with Desert Legend emerging as the most compelling contender, having shown strong early pace in third of 11 on his recent Windsor debut with a prominent start and headway over the final furlong, supported by a solid RPR of 75 and a consistent 133lb weight — a clear step up from his 130lb effort in a softer going environment. His draw of 13 places him in a favourable position to contest the early run, and with a stable that also runs the promising newcomer Old Oak, the potential for a strong performance is evident. The main danger comes from Minster Boy, who despite a slow start in his last outing, demonstrated resilience and improved positioning in the closing stages, while My Boo Boo offers value at the forecast price with a clear second in a ten-horse field and a high RPR of 75, though his recent loss to a well-beaten winner limits his appeal. Hes Readytorumble and Mirzimaan, both with poor recent form and low RPRs, remain unconvincing despite decent pedigree, while Wolf Bay, a first-time headgear in a 6f race, presents a minor each-way player with potential if he improves from his 13th-place finish at Newmarket.
