Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 28–29 bookmakers per horse with the 39% 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-partyCosmic Funk is third of 14 on our figures but gets the vote over Go Out and Darkdeserthighway on a more progressive profile, the reason we prefer him to the pair rated above. Go Out currently tops our figures and Darkdeserthighway sits close behind, while Usuario Amigo also holds solid claims on the same book, so all three loom as the biggest dangers to our pick. With selection confidence at medium in a competitive field of 14 over today's mile, Cosmic Funk is the one we side with.
Racing Post pick: Cosmic Funk
