Model's most likely THE MEAN FIDDLER 34% model chance · market 75%
No standout value here — the model and market broadly agree on the prices.
Why the model rates THE MEAN FIDDLER top (34% chance)

Jason Hart's 15% strike rate in the last two months and 7lb better treatment than Calef strengthen THE MEAN FIDDLER's case; form figures are sparse and it carries the lowest official mark, but dropping into weaker company works in its favour.

  • ✓ Preferred to Calef, 7lb better in at the weights
  • ✓ Jason Hart riding well, 15% strike rate in the last two months
  • ✕ Form figures leave it plenty to find
  • ✕ Official mark among the lowest in the race

Every runner gets this breakdown - reasons for and against, straight from the model's workings.

How to read this: "Model Chance" is our calibrated win probability for each horse. "Market Implies" is the chance suggested by the live price. When the model's number is meaningfully higher than the market's, we flag it as value — the price may be bigger than the horse's true chance warrants. Full explanation of how it works →
