Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 32 bookmakers per horse with the 17% 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

Defence Missile has yet to show much recent form, finishing fifth last time out after a run of finishes no better than sixth, but he still holds the highest rating in this modest field at 58. It is a marginal, low-confidence pick more than a strong vouch on form. Copper And Five, Inspiring Speeches and Elettaria are all rated close enough on our figures to have live claims and could easily reverse placings on the day. Defence Missile is our selection, but this looks a genuinely open race on the book.
