🤖 AI race preview

Le Diablo emerges as the standout on form, having returned to winning form with a second at Wexford under improved conditions and a revised mark, backed by a strong RPR of 114 and OFR of 98, with recent run comments indicating consistent headway and resilience in mid-to-late positions. His trainer, John Patrick Ryan, has a solid 21% win rate over 14 days, and his recent run at Wexford suggests he is well-positioned to make appeal in a field where pace is likely to be moderate and the draw not a major factor. The main danger comes from Valsorpresa, who showed promise in a Galway fifth and has a strong RPR of 104, while Houndsworth, despite a poor showing at Downpatrick, has a notable win at Cork and a strong early headway in his last start, making him a value each-way player at the forecast price. At The Wings, making his hurdle debut, and Ballinvasas Best, returning from a layoff, are worth a second look due to their first-time appearances and potential to challenge in the second half.
