Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 29 bookmakers per horse with the 28% 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-partyFoscarini showed enough on debut over the shorter trip to suggest there is considerably more to come, and a switch to 7f on a sound surface looks a much more suitable assignment. Shemiyla Star showed plenty of quality when narrowly denied on his only start and is the main danger, while Bullrider is a debut runner to consider seriously for a strong yard and Wise And Wonderful has shown clear progression on her latest outing. Foscarini is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Foscarini
