Pundit pick: The Monkey PoleAgrees with our pick

The Monkey Pole is our selection, and he looks the pick of a competitive staying contest over three miles on good ground at Fairyhouse. He sits just 5 lb behind the top-rated Vision De Maine on our figures, but a fitness edge and a progressive profile give him the call over that rival. Final Decision matches him on 104, while Itsaworkinmaniam is only a pound behind, so the danger group is a tight one. Even so, The Monkey Pole's improvement and sharper condition should see him come out on top.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 25–27 bookmakers per horse with the 62% 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.
