No — the AI top pick (Endorsement) finished 2.
Top finishers: 1. Generic (IRE) (19.00), 2. Endorsement (IRE) (2.38), 3. Glacius (GB) (34.00).
The winning time was 2m 4.94s, 0.54s slower than standard.
Endorsement arrives here in good heart, having won a Listed contest at a mile and a half last time out with something in hand, and his form prior to that reads well at this level — his two narrow defeats this season came against horses who subsequently ran prominently in the Epsom Derby. The step up to Group company at Ascot looks well within his compass, and the good-to-firm ground over ten furlongs should suit. Morshdi, Oxagon, and My Love Is King all hold realistic chances of filling the frame, though none looks as consistently progressive. **Endorsement** is our selection.
