Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 31 bookmakers per horse with the 42% 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-partyHierarchy shares the top figure of 82 with the sprint field's other leading fancy but gets the verdict as our selection on the balance of the form. Fifty Nifty matches that figure exactly, while Veydari (81) and Monsieur Kodi (79) are also feasibly involved, making this a genuinely competitive heat to separate at the top. Confidence is only medium given how tight it is, but Hierarchy edges it as our pick in this Class 5 sprint.
