Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 30–31 bookmakers per horse with the 30% 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-partyAreti is our selection in this 10-runner Newbury Class 5 over 8f, preferred to the pair rated fractionally above it purely on a fitness edge rather than outright figures. Luminare and Starlight Sami head the figures and remain the chief dangers, with Pierpoint also included among the risks a little further back. Confidence is only low here given how little separates the principals, but the fitness edge tips it toward Areti on the day.
Racing Post pick: Areti
