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.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: WondervisionDiffers from our pick

Wondervision is narrowly behind the top two in the ratings but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests she has more improvement to come, and a Class 5 six-furlong contest on the Wolverhampton all-weather looks well-suited to her current trajectory. Margaret's Pearl heads the ratings and represents the most obvious threat alongside Sable Island, who sits just two pounds clear of our selection, while Sydney Grace could also make her presence felt if stepping forward from her latest run. Confidence is modest given the quality arrayed against her, but the progressive angle is compelling enough to side with Wondervision.

Pace map

inferred from last 6 runs

Shape: 3 confirmed front-runners — expect a pace duel; closers from the rear advantaged.

Bucketed from the opening clause of each past run's comment. Front-runner / prominent / mid / hold-up — the classic race-shape framework. Unknown = no usable comments parsed.

High (8–10)

Today: Green Titan (draw 1) and Royal Titan (draw 4) get the bias; Margaret's Pearl (draw 10) 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. 624 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 30 bookmakers per horse with the 20% 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.
