Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 30 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-partyHolloway Boy heads the ratings for this Class 1 test over the mile and is our selection, but only a couple of pounds separate him from Point Lynas, leaving this far from a formality. Cerulean Bay and Crystal Flyer are also amongst the dangers, both within range on our figures. Confidence in the selection is low given how tight the form looks between the front two.
