Mr Fox says

Spoken Truth (SR:88, 7/2) is the standout selection combining the strongest multi-signal alignment in the field. Critically, it is the only runner with confirmed DistFit:+ AND GoingFit:+ for today's 1m1f35y trip on Good to Soft — a rare double confirmation that directly addresses the two biggest variables in this race. Dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) eases the task, and the market has firmed 26% from the opening price, reflecting strong informed support. Daniel Tudhope booking (16% career strike rate, 828 runners) is a high-quality pilot, and a recent run just 17 days ago keeps the horse race-sharp on a form line showing consistent placing (223264). At 7/2 the price still represents value given the unique course-and-going suitability advantage over the rest of the field. Each-way alternative: Point Of Contact. Main danger: Strength Of Spirit — Strength Of Spirit (SR:89, Mkt:in43%) carries a joint-top SR in the field, a 43% market steam suggests strong stable confidence, and at 3 years old dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) the upside is real — the DistFit:- is the key concern but K.R. Burke's 19% yard strike rate means dismissing this horse entirely would be rash.
