Pundit pick: GlamazonDiffers from our pick

Glamazon heads a competitive 19-runner field at Cork on good ground over a mile, narrowly ahead of James Henry on these ratings, and she looks the one to beat on the basis of her consistent profile and the edge she holds over the rest of a wide-open cast. James Henry is the most obvious threat given he sits just a pound behind, while Sheamus Seimhiu and Imnotleavinyou cannot be ignored at the same mark further back, though our ratings still put our selection on top. Glamazon is the pick.

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 59% 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.
