Pundit pick: Pink OxalisDiffers from our pick

Pink Oxalis is rated level with Mallavelly at the head of this eight-runner Leopardstown mile on good to firm ground, so the pair share top billing on ratings, and it is the nuances of form rather than any clear edge on paper that separate them. Glory To Be and Tachos represent the next tier of dangers and cannot be dismissed, particularly Glory To Be who holds a useful advantage over the lower-rated runners in the field. With the selection confidence acknowledged as modest, Pink Oxalis is taken to edge a competitive verdict, though Mallavelly poses an equally strong case throughout. Pink Oxalis is the selection.

Today: Duchess Of Kenli (draw 3) and Pink Oxalis (draw 2) get the bias; Glory To Be (draw 6) 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. 180 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 26–28 bookmakers per horse with the 32% 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.
