No — the AI top pick (Endowed) finished 5.
Top finishers: 1. Luminous Warrior (IRE) (4.50), 2. So Grateful (GB) (4.50), 3. Indy's Angel (GB) (5.00).
The winning time was 1m 11.77s.
Luminous Warrior is narrowly ahead on ratings alongside Endowed, but it is the progressive profile of this selection that tips the verdict his way — a horse still finding improvement looks the more attractive proposition over a six-furlong trip on good-to-firm ground at Yarmouth. Endowed represents the most obvious threat as a co-rated rival, while Shades Of May and Alafdhal, both rated just three pounds below, ensure this is a competitive little Class 6 heat. The verdict is light on conviction, but Luminous Warrior's upward trajectory makes him the one to side with. **Luminous Warrior** is our selection.
