Pundit corner

Pundit pick: CanvasDiffers from our pick

Canvas heads the field on our figures with a rating of 87, a clear six pounds better than My Girl Grace and Faeberon, who share 81, and that gap should tell over ten furlongs on the Wolverhampton all-weather. My Girl Grace and Faeberon are the obvious dangers, with Criminal a little further back on 79, but none of them can match the top-rated runner on our numbers. In a competitive-looking Class 5 field of eleven, Canvas looks the one to beat and the confident choice. Canvas 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 34% 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.
