Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 27–28 bookmakers per horse with the 50% 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

Only One Scobie made a strong impression two runs ago, winning easily on a mark well below today's, and his latest third is best read charitably — he hit the front too early when dropped in distance. Kc Bear met interference in running here last time when still in contention and could reverse that form with a cleaner passage; Make The Tide could also improve for the switch to handicap company. Only One Scobie is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Only One Scobie
