Our highest-rated BOLD STEP Our price 15/8 · Available 13/8 We make it 36% · the market says 38%
No standout value here. No runner is rated above its current price.

⚠ Vulnerable favourite: BAILLYS COMET is the market favourite (6/5) but the model rates it only 14% vs the market's 44%. It may be beatable.

How the race unfolded

Bold Step (13/8) was always in the right spot and quickened clear, winning comfortably, by 2¾ lengths. Bailly's Comet (5/4) filled second. Bailly's Comet, the 5/4 favourite, could manage only 2nd. Our model made him its top pick at 36%.

Why the model rates BOLD STEP top (36% chance)

Second when he ran 167 days ago, has been mixing in better company and holds a strong record against this class; de Boinville and Henderson win 26% together. The absence and the rider's 8% fortnight are the caveats.

  • ✓ Nico de Boinville and Nicky Henderson win 26% together
  • ✓ Strong record against this class of rival
  • ✓ Ran well last time, finished 2nd
  • ✕ First run for 167 days, so fitness is a question
  • ✕ Nico de Boinville cold lately, 8% in the fortnight

Every runner gets the same breakdown of 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 available odds may be bigger than our fair price. Full explanation of how it works →
