Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 31 bookmakers per horse with the 21% 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

REGULUS BLACK has taken well to handicaps — a good third at Beverley preceded his first success, at Chepstow, and he backed that up with a solid run in defeat at Hamilton. Having failed to stay a stiffer 11f last time, easing back to 10 furlongs today looks to suit him nicely. Palace Artois's yard remains patient through a lean spell, and with her pedigree pointing to more scope over further, this longer trip ought to bring out her best; Sound Gloria, stepping up from novice company where she showed only moderate form, may prove better suited by a handicap; and Baldosa cannot be discounted either. With everything pointing his way and his profile still improving, REGULUS BLACK is preferred to build on that Chepstow win.
