Pundit pick: Where's My JetAgrees with our pick

Where's My Jet heads this eight-runner field at Killarney on good ground over three miles, rated narrowly ahead of Heroes Rise and seven pounds clear of Ballystone, and that edge in quality is backed by the form to justify it over a thorough test of stamina. Heroes Rise and Ballystone represent the most credible dangers, with Themanintheanorak also capable of making the principals work if the pace is truly set, but Where's My Jet looks the classiest performer here and should have enough in reserve to see them off. Where's My Jet is our selection.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 25–29 bookmakers per horse with the 47% 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.
