Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 30 bookmakers per horse with the 32% 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-partyOur selection is Zillow, who matches Shallow River at the top of these ratings on 132 despite a modest recent sequence including a fall four starts back; the scope suggested by that figure, allied to a fair spell off since, is the case for taking a chance on him. Shallow River himself, a winner three starts back, is the closest thing to a rival, with Roger Pol (129) and Karnaval Point (125) both boasting more visible recent form. Confidence in the selection is medium — Zillow needs the figure to be right rather than the recent form to back it up, but there's enough in reserve to take the risk.
