Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Island BearDiffers from our pick

Island Bear heads our ratings on 84, narrowly ahead of Media Legend on 83, and that is enough to make him the pick in a tightly packed Yarmouth eight-furlong contest on good to firm ground. The margin is slim, so he has little room for error, and the danger list is a long one: Media Legend is only a pound behind, while You Sexy Thing and Gorgeous Mr George sit on 80 and could easily close the gap. With a cluster of runners on 79 or 80 behind them, this looks open, but Island Bear's rating gives him the best credentials on what we have. Island Bear 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 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.
