🤖 AI race preview

Sunlit Sea leads the pace appeal with a clear personal best in her last start and a strong RPR of 70, making her a standout in a race with a deeper field and a good-to-firm going that suits her turf form; she has made all in recent outings and is well-positioned on a 5-furlong course with a draw that favours a central run. Irish Dancer, despite a poor showing at Catterick, remains a hard-to-oppose contender with a strong RPR of 69, a 2nd-place finish at Thirsk last year, and a recent run where he led and challenged inside the final furlong, suggesting he can make a late surge. The main danger comes from So Grateful, who has shown consistency in the 5f handicap and is backed by a 1lb reduction and a favourable draw, while Dabbling offers a value each-way angle with a solid third-place finish at Beverley and a recent improvement in the final stretch.
