Pundit pick: HillviewDiffers from our pick

Hillview stands clearly ahead of this field on form and brings a rating comfortably clear of the chasing pack, with Present Fair the most credible danger on the strength of his own figures, closely followed by Camino Rocio and Scottish Dancer. The trip of twenty-three furlongs on good ground at Bangor-on-Dee should suit Hillview's profile, and nothing in the remainder of the field appears to have the quality to mount a sustained challenge. Our selection is Hillview.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 28 bookmakers per horse with the 26% 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.
