Pundit pick: Sudbury HillAgrees with our pick

Sudbury Hill rates narrowly behind the top two on these figures but a progressive profile and a fitness edge make a compelling case for overlooking that small deficit over eleven furlongs on soft ground at Goodwood. Gloryous heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Dunkeld Dreamer and Ohara are both capable of making this competitive, so the margin for error is slim. That said, a horse continuing to improve often outperforms a static rating, and there is enough here to side with Sudbury Hill.

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.

Today: Lorca's Waltz (draw 6) and Unchartedterritory (draw 5) get the bias; Gloryous (draw 3) 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. 104 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 20–30 bookmakers per horse with the 31% 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.
