One book stands out from the de-overrounded consensus of 30 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: Onslow Gardens advised 8/1·9.00 (Bet365), frozen at publication — win or lose, it stays on the ledger.

Pundit pick: Bajan BanditDiffers from our pick

Bajan Bandit heads this twelve-runner Class 6 contest at Lingfield on the all-weather narrowly ahead of a clutch of rivals rated at 62, and that edge, combined with high confidence in his current form, makes him the standout pick over eight furlongs on the standard surface. Onslow Gardens, Ocean Force and Withoutfurtherado all rate as genuine dangers and will need to be kept in mind, but none can quite match the profile of our selection heading into this assignment. Bajan Bandit is the one to be on.

Today: Nubough (draw 12) and Manton Road (draw 10) get the bias; Onslow Gardens (draw 4) 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. 408 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.
