8/13

★ FORM TEAM VERDICT

The market makes Hold The Serve the narrow favourite (implied 59% chance) at 8/13, trained by Olly Murphy. Count of Vendome is the chief market rival at 5/2.

This is a tight race for one — Hold The Serve is well-clear at the head of the market.

Top pick · Top pick: Hold The Serve. Backs up its market position with form, and the price is the shortest in the betting — which historically translates to roughly a one-in-three strike rate at this class level. Best price available at William Hill.

Each-way · Each-way value sits with Count of Vendome at 5/2. The price gives place hunters a margin of safety even on a stiff handicap, particularly with several books paying extra places in big-field handicaps.

Value play · The bigger-priced angle: Constellation Walk at 6/1. Form figures of 46341- show place form within recent runs, and at a double-digit price the each-way play covers downside risk if the favourites duel.

Class 3 · 2m · Good going · Favourite's trainer is striking at 23% over the last 14 days.
