Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 30 bookmakers per horse with the 26% 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

Our selection is Sony Bill, rated the best of these on 145 despite being without a win in his recent starts — the pattern of finishes suggests he's overdue one back over today's trip and going. He's only a handful of pounds clear of Sure Touch on 140, third last time out and a winner two starts back, while Grand Clermont (137) and Sunray Shadow (131) both bring strong recent form of their own into this race. Confidence in the selection is low with this field packed so tightly together on our figures, but Sony Bill remains the one to side with on pure ability.

Racing Post pick: Sony Bill
