AI Top 3 Picks
Shaffron
J: Rossa Ryan · T: D Menuisier
Shaffron comes from a yard known for improving horses and has a top jockey aboard in Rossa Ryan. Recent form suggests he's ready to strike in this grade, and the trip should suit his stamina.
Market House (IRE)
J: Mason Paetel · T: James Owen
Market House has shown consistent form in similar company and should appreciate the conditions. The trainer often gets the best out of his runners in handicaps.
Kotari (FR)
J: D Egan · T: G & J Moore
Kotari has the benefit of an experienced jockey in D Egan and could be well-handicapped on his best form. A solid contender for a minor placing if he runs to his potential.
