AI Verdict

NDAAWI stands head and shoulders above the field, backed by recent class and a C+D victory. His switch from jumps is a neutral factor, but his form and consistency are unmatched.

Duke Silver and Star Harbour follow as the only genuine threats, both with competitive pedigree and recent placings. Dark Viper is the most overpriced, having won his last start and shown progressive form.

Tyson Fury and Wild Sapphire are the next best prospects, with the former's distance ability and the latter's dam line offering potential. Ole Ole and Mr Dibbs are sire-backed but lack recent runs.

The rest—Free Flow, Neo Smart, and the long-odds outsiders—offer little beyond speculative value. Dark Viper is the only standout mispricing, while Western Fold, Coole Cafe, and Sneddy Eddie are untested in this trip. Idomything and Talking Tough are distance specialists but lack recent form.

A three-way battle between NDAAWI, Duke Silver, and Star Harbour is likely, with Dark Viper lurking as a dark horse.
