Pace map

inferred from last 6 runs

Shape: Mixed shape — pace likely to be honest but not lightning.

Bucketed from the opening clause of each past run's comment. Front-runner / prominent / mid / hold-up — the classic race-shape framework. Unknown = no usable comments parsed.

Today: Londoner (draw 6) and Eupator (draw 7) get the bias; Almekarem (draw 1) is in the least-favoured band.

IV = impact value: 1.00 is neutral, above it a stall band wins more often than its share of runners predicts. 62 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 29 bookmakers per horse with the 23% overround stripped out. A green best price 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

Miss Tonnerre heads this Salisbury mile-and-a-quarter heat on a rating clearly ahead of Londoner, and she has run over this trip on good-to-firm ground before. Londoner, Eupator and Carnival Day represent the chief dangers, though none of the trio can match her on these figures. Miss Tonnerre is the selection.

Racing Post pick: Miss Tonnerre
