AI Top 3 Picks
Impero (IRE)
J: Jordan Gainford · T: C Collins
Impero boasts strong recent form (13-2) and a high official rating, suggesting a class edge in this small field. Having run just 15 days ago, fitness is unlikely to be an issue.
Castel Gandolfo (IRE)
J: Jack Hogan · T: F O'Brien
Representing the formidable F O'Brien stable, Castel Gandolfo is likely to be well-prepared and could be well-handicapped for this contest. The stable often excels in these types of races.
Wise Eagle (IRE)
J: Ryan Mania · T: A Nicol
A consistent performer with a capable jockey in Ryan Mania, Wise Eagle is expected to run its race honestly. It has the potential to secure a place if the top contenders falter.
