Pundit pick: Wen MoonDiffers from our pick

Wen Moon holds a progressive profile that makes her an appealing alternative to the top-rated Hanney Girl, who sits four pounds clear on ratings but may lack the upward trajectory that could prove decisive over this sharp five furlongs at Catterick on good ground. Our Absent Friends and Protest Rally are not without claims and will need to be kept onside, though neither quite matches the levels Wen Moon has been showing. The case for our selection rests on the belief that her progression still has further to run, though this is admittedly a competitive Class 5 field where the outcome is far from settled. Wen Moon is our selection.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 27–28 bookmakers per horse with the 28% 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.
