Today: Kimeko Glory (draw 5) and Palazzo Persico (draw 6) get the bias; Thiscouldbefun (draw 1) is in the least-favoured band.

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 22% 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.
