Race 2 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

Though Facile Vega finished ahead of his stablemates DIVERGE and Il Etait Temps in the Supreme Novices’ at Cheltenham, there is no guarantee he will confirm that form. Patrick Mullins’ mount could have more improvement in him and is likely to be able to dictate the pace today, so is taken to make all and upset the applecart. [Tyrone Molloy]
