Pundit pick: Eduardo CalderonDiffers from our pick

Eduardo Calderon sits three pounds behind the top-rated Generous Rascal on our figures, but it is his progressive profile that tips the balance in his favour here, suggesting there is more improvement to come at this seven-furlong Kempton trip. Generous Rascal represents the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Piazza and Santiago Boy also enter the danger list in what is a competitive Class 5 heat on the All-Weather. On balance, Eduardo Calderon is taken to edge it, though punters should be aware this is held with only modest confidence.

Today: Obsidian Verse (draw 8) and Santiago Boy (draw 5) get the bias; Station Bar (draw 10) 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. 665 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.

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.
