Single-race breakdown with model vs market, value edge, confidence, and the reasons Slims Pickins is leaning in or stepping out.
Wedgewood rates as the value NAP at 52.1% fair chance versus 14.9% market probability (+212.6% EV). Price is shorter than the model makes it; going fit is weaker than the market suggests; trip is not ideal; there are enough red flags to oppose at the price.
Wedgewood
The main play combines fair-price edge, suitability for conditions, and enough confidence to justify involvement.
- Today’s trip looks ideal
- Recent form profile is a major positive
- Current price still underrates the chance
- Ground conditions suit the selection

Dual 5f Polytrack winner (once here) this year; not discredited in higher-grade company over 6f here last month and probably still on a workable mark for this drop back to her optimum trip; must be considered.
Won easily in today's headgear combination on last month's seasonal/stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW) and ran big race in defeat when dropped back to 5f at Catterick (good; wore cheekpieces) last week; quickly back in action before latest 2lb rise takes effect and may still have more to offer for new trainer.
On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt.
Prominent racer who capitalised upon good mark when winning from stall 1 over C&D six weeks ago; only 2lb higher today but this race is competitive and others appeal more.
Didn't run badly when fourth over C&D last week but is now 0-11 for Scott Dixon and her overall profile remains unappealing.
