Pundit pick: Forca TimaoAgrees with our pick

Forca Timao heads this eleven-runner Leicester Class 6 contest over ten furlongs on good-to-soft ground narrowly ahead of Stipulation on ratings, with Jewel Maker and Merapi also in the mix as the chief dangers in what looks a competitive enough affair at this level. The selection's edge over the field is modest and confidence is limited, so Stipulation in particular cannot be dismissed if reproducing her best form, while Jewel Maker and Merapi are closely matched and capable of making their presence felt on the day. On balance, the ratings advantage and overall profile point in one direction, and the call is Forca Timao.

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 34% 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.
