Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 32 bookmakers per horse with the 13% overround stripped out. A green badge means the best book currently 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.

Racing Post verdict
Third-partyNew York Minute has a strong record at this venue and ran below par at Thirsk last time in tougher company; back close to his best recent mark and the drop in class looks ideal. Sixpack's three wins in his last five starts make him the biggest danger, with Sax Appeal and Boatswain also in contention. New York Minute is our selection.
