Pundit pick: Better Off AloneDiffers from our pick

Better Off Alone heads the field on our ratings at 104, four pounds clear of A Dublin Job on 100, and that gives him a solid platform in a Class 5 race at Uttoxeter over three miles. A Dublin Job is the chief danger and sits closest to him, while Another Mystery and Izzy's Grey, both on 85, are a long way further back and need to improve to make it a contest. With the rest of the field rated 80 or below, Better Off Alone should go close if running to his level on the good ground. Better Off Alone is our selection.

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 18% 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.
