Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 32 bookmakers per horse with the 30% 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-party

Narrowly denied on his debut bumper at this course and distance, beaten just a head, Masterius is the clear form pick with conditions to suit and scope to build. Zandahar, runner-up at Plumpton on debut with that form since franked, is his most serious rival. Litaque, a point winner who showed promise on his bumper bow, completes the shortlist. Masterius is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Masterius
