Pundit pick: WhitewinewednesdayDiffers from our pick

Whitewinewednesday looks the one to side with at Market Rasen, rated 100 on our figures and four pounds ahead of Blue du Neuf, which is a solid edge in a six-runner Class 5 over 19 furlongs on good ground. Blue du Neuf is the main danger on 96, with Walk In The Valley close behind on 94, while Hiero Sport on 88 would need to improve to get involved. With a clear pecking order and the top-rated runner holding the advantage, she should be hard to peg back. Whitewinewednesday is our selection.

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.
