🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be run in a steady tempo with early pressure from the midfield, where Soldiers Tree and Binhareer are positioned to challenge from the front, though the draw of 5 and 4 respectively suggests a slight positional advantage for the latter. Song Of The Clyde stands out as the most compelling contender, having recorded a strong performance at Royal Ascot in a Class 1, with a clean run in the Commonwealth Cup and a first win at Newbury, supported by a consistent RPR of 112 and a 130lb weight that reflects his class and fitness level; his progression in class and recent form makes him a hard-to-oppose force in a field of older horses. The main dangers are Binhareer, who showed resilience in a York Class 2 and has a solid RPR of 114, and Jasour, who despite a poor run at Ascot, has a long Group 1 pedigree and a recent headgear change that may indicate a shift in performance. Mitbaahy, at 135lbs and with a 104 OFR, offers value at the forecast price as a senior performer with a recent fifth in a Group 2, while Noble Champion remains a caution due to a pulled-up run and inconsistent form.
