Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 30–31 bookmakers per horse with the 28% 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

Cabrera heads our figures on 90, a pound better than the next best in this staying Class 4 event, and gets the nod as our selection. Scottish Anthem (89) and Heathen (88) sit only marginally behind and loom as the most obvious dangers, with Mersea Island (86) also given a squeak on the figures. It's a competitive heat over the extended trip, so confidence is only medium, but Cabrera's edge in the figures gives her the best claim in this Class 4 test.

Racing Post pick: Cabrera
