Pundit pick: Pure PassionAgrees with our pick

Pure Passion arrives at Lingfield with a progressive profile that makes her an attractive proposition despite sitting a few pounds below the top-rated pair on these ratings, and there is every reason to believe she has more to offer than her current figure suggests. Star Marian heads the field on ratings and must be respected, while Dusk Damsel and Saeculamation will also make their presence felt over this sharp five furlongs on the all-weather surface. Pure Passion is our selection to reward each-way supporters with a bold showing on what promises to be a competitive Class 6 sprint.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 34–35 bookmakers per horse with the 13% 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.
