AI Verdict

AL AASY remains the pick, backed by consistent C+D class and progressive form under D Tudhope. Plage De Havre, though a distance winner, lacks recent sharpness, while Tenability's 6/4 odds overstate his chances given his form. By The Book, a competitive distance performer, poses the most credible threat, though his long lay-off may hinder him. Royal Power, despite his class, is a dark outsider with a lengthy break, while Royal Playwright's lack of recent runs and form make him a longshot. Haggas' stable looks strongest, but Appleby's pair could cause a stir if fit. A tight finish is likely.
