Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 28–29 bookmakers per horse with the 27% 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-partyBarak Warrior is a type to improve as he steps up in distance for his handicap bow; held up in running and likely to stay beyond 10f, the conditions suit his profile well. We Ride At Dawn was placed over 10f last time and is bred for middle-distance tests, making her the most obvious threat. Offiah's Boy drops to a workable mark on fast ground he handles, while Campeona has the breeding to see out this trip on her return from a long absence. Barak Warrior is our selection.
