Pundit pick: Its BilboDiffers from our pick

Its Bilbo heads our ratings on 130, a useful six pounds ahead of Idy Wood on 124, and that margin gives him a genuine edge over a nine-runner field in what should be a stamina-testing 20 furlongs on soft ground. Idy Wood is the chief danger, with Killeemore Lad (121) and Drumgill (119) also in the mix, though both have more to find on our figures. Its Bilbo looks the one to beat if he brings his best, and he is our selection.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 18–27 bookmakers per horse with the 29% 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.
