No — the AI top pick (Confucius) finished 3.
Top finishers: 1. Ballinea Star (IRE) (17.00), 2. Immortal Guard (IRE) (5.00), 3. Confucius (IRE) (1.33).
The winning time was 1m 17.36s, 3.66s slower than standard.
Confucius was beaten less than two lengths in a Group 2 at Ascot by a stablemate — a performance that sets the form standard — and handles both soft and fast ground at 5-6f with the leading combination behind him. Immortal Guard made up ground purposefully to be third in a Group 3 here last time and is the main danger, with Ballinea Star also holding a chance after her willing recent success at Cork. Confucius is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Confucius
