Race 3 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

This looks very tricky but a chance is taken on GLAN in the hope that the ground dries out enough for her. She is at her best when fresh and a repeat of her Galway Hurdle fourth last year would do here. Old Cash Back can still go a bit and is a player, along with Fils D’Oudairies, while Merlin Giant, Bialystock and Telecon are respected. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post
