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 18% 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

Bulldog Spirit holds a clear edge on our figures over this modest Class 6 field at Ffos Las, rated narrowly ahead of Meet Me In Meraki and comfortably clear of the remainder over this twelve-furlong trip on good ground. Meet Me In Meraki is the most obvious threat, with Noble Grace and A Daughters Love also capable of making their presence felt if Bulldog Spirit fails to fire. On balance, the form book points firmly enough in one direction. **Bulldog Spirit** is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Bulldog Spirit
