AI Top 3 Picks
Rlasthope
J: D Nolan ยท T: T Coyle & K Wood
This gelding has two runs under its belt, showing improvement last time out with a 2nd place. This crucial experience provides a significant advantage over the many debutants in this large field.
First Legion (IRE)
J: Shane Foley ยท T: R Hannon
Represents a powerful yard in Richard Hannon, known for producing sharp two-year-olds. The booking of top Irish jockey Shane Foley for the trip suggests confidence in this debutant.
Andesite
J: D Tudhope ยท T: K R Burke
From the in-form Karl Burke stable, which often does well with its juveniles. The booking of top jockey D. Tudhope is a positive indicator for this debutant.
