What the money's doing in this race — biggest price movements across the bookmakers since the last odds sync.
Dream Jet (SR:85, 9/1) carries a favourable 11-13 and has dropped 7lb since his last win (MarkMv:-7), making this his most attractive mark in some time. The 12% market support since opening is a meaningful signal in a small field at this level, suggesting informed money is on board. His GoingFit:~ on good ground is not a barrier, and while his recent form (539-38) includes some weak runs, the -7lb mark concession relative to rivals is a genuine structural advantage. Patrick Wadge's 14% strike rate from just 28 rides suggests a rising talent worth following when engaged. Each-way alternative: Mr McWhinny. Main danger: Mr McWhinny — Mr McWhinny (SR:79, 6/4 favourite) has the highest-quality connections in the race — trainer T Ellis at 20% and jockey Jack Andrews at 23% strike rate — and has shortened 7% in the market, but his GoingFit:- on today's good ground is the one credible reason to oppose him at a skinny price.
