Close Brothers Handicap
🤖 AI race preview
The pace is expected to be steady, with Hot And Cold likely to set the tempo from her draw of three and strong recent form, having led at Ascot and Salisbury on good to firm, supported by a high RPR of 89 and consistent running in class 3–4 races. She looks the one to beat, having shown the ability to dictate early pace and maintain pressure over the final furlong, with a solid 136lb weight and a clear progression from novice success to competitive handicap performances. Roker Roar presents a notable danger as a first-time handicap debutant with a low weight and a recent fourth at Newcastle, while Knightsail, despite a poor qualifying record, offers a value at the forecast price due to his hooded status and potential for improvement in a longer trip.
