Pundit pick: CaragioAgrees with our pick

Caragio is the pick of a tight Kempton contest, and while Arantes Nascimento tops our figures at 82, our selection is only three pounds behind on 79 and brings a progressive profile and a fitness edge that count for plenty over seven furlongs on the all-weather. Arantes Nascimento is the chief danger on raw ability, with Silver Trumpet (78) and Lady Manzor (77) also within a few pounds and capable of turning this into a bunch finish. Caragio looks the one to be on as the sort still improving, though this is a competitive Class 5 and confidence is limited.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 20–27 bookmakers per horse with the 19% 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.
