Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 32 bookmakers per horse with the 24% 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-partyLangholm heads the ratings on the back of a recent handicap success and is well suited to front-running on any going; stepping back up to a mile is the one concern having found this trip beyond him on previous attempts. Approaching Dawn carries the form of a recent winner and shaped with more merit than his finishing position last time, while Crystal Aurora is another to respect at a fair price. Langholm is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Langholm
