One book stands out from the de-overrounded consensus of 29 bookmakers. A price check, not a tip — the market can be wrong about a horse.

Pundit pick: Ade BoyDiffers from our pick

Ade Boy looks the one to beat in this Class 5 contest at Uttoxeter, and our ratings back that up: his 119 is 10 lb better than Cotton Socks on 109, a sizeable margin in a ten-runner field on good ground. That gap gives him plenty of scope to cope with any small imperfection over the 16 furlongs. The main dangers are Cotton Socks, then Nobotheratall and Gaelic Glow, who are both on 108 and would need to improve to close the gap. Ade Boy is the selection.

OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 29 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.
