Pundit pick: Lermoos LegendDiffers from our pick

Lermoos Legend is our selection, and he can reverse the order with Quick Sharpener, who is only two pounds better on our figures. The fitness edge and a progressive profile are what tip it for us, and on a Class 4 test over 22 furlongs on good to firm ground that sort of momentum can count for plenty. Quick Sharpener is the obvious danger as the top-rated runner, while Imperial Bede and Mr Rafiki sit a little further back on 109 and 108 and are the other dangers. Lermoos Legend looks the one to be on.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 27–28 bookmakers per horse with the 23% 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.
