Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 25–29 bookmakers per horse with the 75% 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

Idy Wood is our selection, preferred over the head of our figures, Magnor Glory, on the strength of a progressive profile through his recent starts. He rates 127 in this maximum field of 18 over the marathon 23f trip at Killarney. Magnor Glory, Pray Tell and Frankendael head the list of dangers, with Magnor Glory the one to beat on figures and Pray Tell not far behind him. Confidence in the selection is low given the strength and depth of this field.

Racing Post pick: Idy Wood
