🤖 AI race preview

Midway pace is likely with Yermanthere and Qitaal both showing consistent ability in recent runs, though the field's lack of recent form at this distance suggests a potential for a late surge from Poets Dawn, who led and pressed over 2f out at Ripon last time. Wild Violet stands out with a strong recent run at Salisbury and a solid RPR of 83, having won a novice and finished second in a class 3 at Wolverhampton, with a clean progression in form and a favourable draw of 4; she is hard to oppose in a race where early strength and staying ability are key. The main danger comes from Midnight Strike, who surged to victory at Beverley with a strong RPR of 82 and a marked improvement in performance, while Poets Dawn, despite a class drop, remains a value at the forecast price with a consistent record of leading and staying well. Lucky Hero, though recently beaten, has a promising reappearance and could offer an each-way appeal despite a poor recent run.
