6/1·7.00 BestOdds · +12% vs fair (consensus 6.24)

One book stands out from the de-overrounded consensus of 35 bookmakers. A price check, not a tip — the market can be wrong about a horse.

Model testThis race is on v1.0's public test card: Invincible Isaac advised 13/2·7.50 (Bet365), frozen at publication — win or lose, it stays on the ledger.

Pundit pick: Cailin AineDiffers from our pick

Cailin Aine heads this ten-runner Class 5 sprint at Wolverhampton on her rating, narrowly ahead of Seed Ya Later, and the pair are appreciably clear of the remainder on current form. The danger from Seed Ya Later is real given how closely matched the two appear, while Sea Palace and Invincible Isaac are capable of making the frame if either of the principals encounters trouble. On balance, Cailin Aine's edge at the head of the rankings makes her the one to be on, and she is the selection.
