A busy dual-jumps, dual-flat card today with RaceEasy's model throwing up some of its starkest score-versus-market divergences of the season — none more striking than the 14:20 at Sedgefield and the 15:20 Class 2 chase, where the model's top two selections sit well adrift of where the market places them.

---

**Sedgefield 14:20 — Class 5 Chase**

This is the race RaceEasy's model is shouting loudest about today. Illogical Logic holds a totalScore of 61 — the highest in this field by a distance — and is RaceEasy's Win Pick, yet the market ranks it only third. That scoreRank 1 vs marketRankInRace 3 gap is a direct product of two hard flags: a proven-at-trip distance strike rate of 10/10 and a confirmed win at Class 5 Handicap level. The Each-Way pick, Tom Creen, compounds the divergence — scoreRank 2 vs marketRankInRace 4 — and carries RaceEasy's CD badge alongside a distance strike rate of 10/10, making it the only course-and-distance winner in the field. Meanwhile, Stay Hopeful sits as market favourite (marketRankInRace 1) but ranks only fifth on the model (scoreRank 5) with no course form on record — a scoreRank 5 vs marketRankInRace 1 gap the model does not ignore.

**Sedgefield 15:20 — Class 2 Chase**

The Class 2 chase is the most data-interesting race of the day for a different reason: RaceEasy's Win Pick, Dexperts Opinion, sits scoreRank 6 — the lowest score of any runner discussed — yet is the market's jolly (marketRankInRace 1). The model's top-scored runner is Tommie Beau at 64, carrying RaceEasy's CD badge, a distance strike rate of 10/10 and a scoreRank 1 vs marketRankInRace 7 gap that is among the largest on today's card. RaceEasy's Each-Way pick, Ivane, also carries the CD badge and a distance strike rate of 10/10, sitting scoreRank 2 vs marketRankInRace 6. RaceEasy flags the big class rise on Ivane as a major question mark, which is reflected in the score.

---

**Leopardstown 14:42 — Listed Flat**

The day's highest-class flat race at Leopardstown throws up a clean score-vs-market split at the top. RaceEasy's Win Pick, King Cuan, scores 59 and sits scoreRank 1 despite a marketRankInRace of 2 — backed by a going suitability of 10/10 and a proven win at Class 1 Handicap level. The Each-Way pick Zodiac Bear is scoreRank 2 vs marketRankInRace 4, also rated 10/10 for going suitability. More notable is Faiyum — Colin Keane's mount for G.M. Lyons and the market's jolly — sitting scoreRank 4 vs marketRankInRace 1, with its primary model flag being a draw bias of 9/10 rather than any form or class credential. That is a four-place score-vs-market gap RaceEasy's model does not paper over.

---

**Limerick 15:00 — Handicap Hurdle (19 runners)**

The biggest field of the day on the jumps card and RaceEasy surfaces a clean each-way case built entirely on course data. Win Pick Way Down South holds RaceEasy's CD badge and a course specialist bonus of 8/10 — the only runner in the field carrying both flags — and sits scoreRank 1 vs marketRankInRace 2. Longshot Crowsatedappletart also carries the CD badge and the same 8/10 course specialist bonus (scoreRank 4 vs marketRankInRace 8), making it the only Longshot on today's card where the model's rationale rests on identical course-specialist credentials to the Win Pick. In a 19-runner handicap on Good To Yielding, that dual CD flag is what RaceEasy's scoring is anchored to.

---

**Leopardstown 16:12 — Flat Handicap (19 runners)**

The day's other maximum-size field and arguably its biggest score-vs-market story on the flat. Sinbad My Dad tops the model at a totalScore of 60 — the joint-highest flat score across the entire Leopardstown card — rated 10/10 for going suitability and carrying a proven Class 4 Handicap win, yet sits marketRankInRace 9 against a scoreRank 1. That is an eight-place gap. RaceEasy's Win Pick is Spacebound, which scores lower but carries the model's selection flag; Dark Viper is the Each-Way pick (scoreRank 2 vs marketRankInRace 6), also going suitability 10/10 with a Class 4 Handicap win to its name. In a 19-runner sprint-type handicap where going suitability and class proof dominate the scoring, the model's top three are all priced considerably wider than their score ranks suggest.
