Race 4 Predictor

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

Race Verdict

A weak maiden for the venue. DANADA failed to back up an eyecatching Clonmel debut run at Downpatrick but should appreciate this drop in trip and could be worth keeping the faith in. Summer Gale makes a quick return after an underwhelming hurdles debut just six days ago but remains of interest, while Steel Cable is one to consider on his first start for Gordon Elliott.
