Pundit corner

Pundit pick: TheoryofeverythingDiffers from our pick

Theoryofeverything heads our ratings on 95, three pounds ahead of Classic Encounter, and that narrow edge is enough to make him the one to beat in this 14-runner Class 2 over a mile on good ground. Classic Encounter is the chief danger on 92, with Welbury on 89 and Double Parked on 86 also firmly in the picture, so this is no gimme. Still, Theoryofeverything's rating gives him the strongest overall profile in the line-up, and he gets the vote. Theoryofeverything is our selection.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 29 bookmakers per horse with the 30% 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.
