What the money's doing in this race — biggest price movements across the bookmakers since the last odds sync.
Man's Best Friend carries the highest SR in the field at 158 — a full 43 points clear of the next-best Flann Sunna (SR:115) — which in a juvenile Group 2 is a substantial ability gap that weight cannot adjust (all runners are level at 9-2). The Form:41 tells a progressive story: a fourth on debut followed by a win, and the 8-day turnaround from a yard (A P O'Brien, 22% strike rate) and jockey (Ryan Moore, 27%) that routinely target major juvenile prizes in rapid succession signals peak readiness. The market has firmed 31% from the opening price to 5/1, confirming professional confidence, while the DistFit:? and GoingFit:? unknowns are routine for a lightly-raced two-year-old with only two runs and do not undermine the case. Flann Sunna (SR:115, 6/4) steaming into favouritism on the back of two wins is the main danger — the market is very bullish — but the SR gap of 43 points is hard to bridge even for an improver. Each-way alternative: Flann Sunna. Main danger: Flann Sunna — Flann Sunna is unbeaten in two runs (Form:11), has steamed 13% in the market to 6/4 favourite, is trained by the high-strike-rate Simon & Ed Crisford yard (19%) with William Buick aboard (21%), and a two-year-old with a perfect record stepping up two classes (ClassMv:↑2) can mask a rapidly-developing SR that the current 115 figure does not yet fully capture.
