What the money's doing in this race — biggest price movements across the bookmakers since the last odds sync.
Koko Blue carries the highest SR in the field at 65, has the lightest competitive weight at 9-6, and is trained by Tom Clover (14% strike rate, 285 runners — the most statistically reliable yard here). The 9/4 market position reflects genuine confidence and the three-star AI probability rating separates it from every other runner. While GoingFit and DistFit are both '?' (insufficient samples), the form string 0-3323 shows consistent placing at this class level with no obvious horror runs, and at age 4 there is scope for further improvement. The SR advantage of 2lb over the next-best (Ravenscraig Castle at 63) combined with a weight edge over several rivals makes this a clear top selection. Each-way alternative: Ravenscraig Castle. Main danger: Ravenscraig Castle — Ravenscraig Castle (SR 63, 9/2) has steamed in 20% in the market, carries confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground, and the addition of blinkers (HG:b) on a horse that finished 4th last time out at the same class suggests connections expect a clear step forward.
