Pundit pick: CharlusDiffers from our pick

Charlus heads this six-runner Class 4 chase at Newton Abbot on good ground with a clear edge over the field, sitting nine pounds clear of the next-best Sayva and a dozen ahead of Max Of Stars, and his form over this demanding seventeen-furlong trip gives every reason to expect him to translate that superiority into a decisive result. Sayva is the most obvious threat given a rating nine pounds adrift, while Max Of Stars and Arctic Voyage will need significant improvement to bridge the gap. The selection is Charlus.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 27 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.
