One book stands out from the de-overrounded consensus of 29 bookmakers. A price check, not a tip — the market can be wrong about a horse.

Pundit pick: FiveonefiveDiffers from our pick

Fiveonefive arrives here narrowly behind the top-rated Feud on ratings but makes a compelling case on several other fronts, boasting a progressive profile, a more solid overall book of form, and what appears to be a meaningful fitness edge at this stage of the season. Feud must be respected as the top-rated runner in the field, while Black Bamboo and Autumn Twist are capable of running into a place on this trip at Killarney, but neither looks equipped to deny a horse travelling this well through its campaign. The selection is Fiveonefive.

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.
