AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.
Highest AI score (51.5) in the field, 4.5 clear of the next best. Drawn 18, inside the favoured high third at this course and trip. Best price is currently 23% below the market's fair price — no value at the current quote. Not on today's published card — the v1.0 filter rejects this race profile.
Top-half AI rating in the EW price sweet spot. Each-way splits stake: half on the win, half on the place portion.

The Racing Alpha rating combines four signals. Below is the breakdown — components driving this pick first.
v1.3 rating · weights and method explained on /about. Tips are opinions, not advice.
Shape: Lone front-runner — could dictate from the front if unchallenged.
Bucketed from the opening clause of each past run's comment. Front-runner / prominent / mid / hold-up — the classic race-shape framework. Unknown = no usable comments parsed.
Moderate: high (outside) favoured (IV 1.13).
Today: Onyeisi (draw 18) and Pimlico Piranha (draw 15) get the bias; Giselles Defence (draw 12) is in the least-favoured band.
IV = impact value: 1.00 is neutral, above it a stall band wins more often than its share of runners predicts. 95 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.
OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 25–28 bookmakers per horse with the 61% overround stripped out. A green best price pays above that consensus — a price check, not a tip: the market can be wrong about a horse, this only tells you when a book stands out from it.
The 1XBET IRISH SPIRIT Handicap (Div I) is off at 17:22 on 12 August 2026 at Gowran Park (Ireland).
1m1½f, Flat, 20 runners declared.
Going is reported as Good To Firm on Turf.
The AI top-rated runner is Onyeisi (score 51.5, best price 34.00). Methodology: ratings combine OR, RPR, TS, trainer 14-day form, days since last run and going.
The market favourite is Connova at a best price of 3.80. The Racing Alpha AI top pick is a different horse — Onyeisi.
She's Ideal has shown a progressive profile that makes her an appealing pick ahead of Perfect Judgement, despite sitting 4 lb behind the top-rated on our figures. Connova matches her on the ratings and Keilah is not far behind, so this is far from a one-horse race, but She's Ideal's upward trajectory suggests there is more to come. **She's Ideal** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: She's Ideal
