Pundit pick: Sea Of DoubtDiffers from our pick

Sea Of Doubt arrives here on a progressive profile that makes a compelling case for overlooking the two runners rated a pound ahead, Galileo Springs and Tingarran Express, both of whom appear to have reached a more settled level; a horse still moving through the gears over this stamina-testing sixteen furlongs at Tramore is precisely the type to capitalise on any vulnerability at the top of the field. Small Bucks, rated a pound below our selection, merits respect as a likelier improver from the chasing pack, while Galileo Springs and Tingarran Express will ensure the race is genuinely contested throughout. On balance, the upward curve in Sea Of Doubt's form is the decisive factor, and she is the selection.

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 24% 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.
