Pundit pick: Greek SymphonyDiffers from our pick

Greek Symphony holds a narrow edge over the chasing pack on these ratings, sitting six pounds clear of the trio of Minster Boy, Wise And Wonderful and Sequel Star, who are all level and represent a genuine collective threat on this seven-furlong Epsom card on good-to-firm ground. Any one of that three could make life difficult if Greek Symphony fails to reproduce his best, but the selection's rating advantage is the clearest differentiator in what looks a competitive Class 5 contest. Greek Symphony is our selection.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 30 bookmakers per horse with the 11% 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.
