Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 28–29 bookmakers per horse with the 18% 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-partyBit Of A Buzz sits well clear at the top of our figures in this five-runner race, rated 14 lb above his nearest rival on our book, which makes him the clear one to beat on merit. Mr Montauk, Tatianna and Santorini Storm are tightly grouped behind him and each has claims as the chief danger, but none gets close to matching his figure. Bit Of A Buzz is a confident selection on the strength of that gap.
