40/1·41.00 10 Bet · +19% vs fair (consensus 34.40)

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: Maharajas Express advised 17/2·9.40 (Betfair Exchange), frozen at publication — win or lose, it stays on the ledger.

Pundit pick: Tiger TulipDiffers from our pick

Tiger Tulip sits just a pound behind the two top-rated runners, Keldeo and Hectic, but a progressive profile and clock evidence that backs the form make her the preferred call in what is a competitive Class 5 sprint over six furlongs on the Wolverhampton all-weather. Keldeo and Hectic are the chief dangers alongside Dicko The Legend, and the narrow rating gaps across the top four mean this is by no means a straightforward verdict. The selection is Tiger Tulip.

Today: Travel Agent (draw 2) and In The City (draw 1) get the bias; Maharajas Express (draw 8) is in the least-favoured band.

IV = impact value: 1.00 is neutral, above it a stall band wins more often than its share of runners predicts. 624 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.
