Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 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-partyCaptain Kinsella is our selection, preferred over the top-rated runner in this nine-runner race on the strength of a progressive profile through his recent starts. His finishing positions have trended the right way and today's trip is already proven, which counts for more than the raw figures here. A 123-day absence is the one query, and with several closely-matched rivals in a big field, confidence in this selection is low. The top-rated runner and a couple of fitter, in-form types are the biggest dangers, but Captain Kinsella's shape of form edges it.
