Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 29 bookmakers per horse with the 29% 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-partyPadua clearly needed his most recent outing but is entitled to improve significantly back on better ground, with the trainer in form and a tongue-tie added to assist; there is enough in his profile to make a case for him at 7f here. Musical Angel has landed at Epsom before and handles 6/7f on a sound surface well, making her the most pressing danger, while Utmost Good Faith — effective over this trip but inclined to race freely — and Mystic Moment, who has shown course-and-distance ability, also have claims. Padua is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Padua
