Pundit pick: PellitoryDiffers from our pick

Pellitory is our selection for this 18-runner seven-furlong contest at Ascot, and he looks the one to side with on a progressive profile and a fitness edge over the top-rated runner. He sits on 107 in our figures, only five pounds behind Poet Master on 112, a gap that the sharper condition and upward trajectory should be able to bridge on good to firm ground. Poet Master is the chief danger on raw ability, while Two Tribes (106) and Golden Mind (105) sit just behind our pick and could make this tighter still. In a big field, though, Pellitory's improvement makes him the most appealing option, and he is the selection.

Today: Pellitory (draw 17) and Machadadorp (draw 13) get the bias; Thunder Call (draw 1) 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. 130 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 29 bookmakers per horse with the 39% 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.
