Pundit corner

Pundit pick: GoodwinDiffers from our pick

Goodwin is the call at Fontwell, and on our figures he is the one to beat, with a PR of 127 putting him 8 lb ahead of Moab, who is next best on 119. That is a meaningful edge rather than a gulf, but it is enough to make him the logical choice in a five-runner Class 4 over 19 furlongs. Moab is the main danger, with Crooked Path (115) and Motazzen (112) also needing respect if Goodwin fails to run to his best, though confidence is only low. Goodwin gets the nod.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 27–28 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.
