Mr Fox says

Obelix (SR 86, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and the market has emphatically backed this assessment with a 31% inward move — the strongest market signal in the race. He drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), giving connections every reason to expect a competitive run, and crucially he is proven at today's distance (DistFit:+) and today's going (GoingFit:+), two boxes that very few rivals can tick simultaneously. Jason Hart (14% career strike rate from 1,299 rides) is a high-quality booking who knows how to ride Beverley's sharp turn. His recent form reads -01550, which requires context — the last run (0) is a concern, but the class drop and going match give logical grounds to dismiss it, and the money clearly agrees. Each-way alternative: Tattie Bogle. Main danger: Alpha Capture — Alpha Capture (SR 93, 9/4) is the field's SR leader, has shortened 11% in the market, and while carrying top-weight of 10-4 at +6 above last win mark, Roger Fell's horse has consistent recent form (621202) and the cheekpieces add a tactical edge that could see it dominate from the front on good-to-firm ground.
