Mr Fox says

Envision (SR:85, 3/1, 9-4) carries the lightest weight among the main contenders and combines the strongest multi-signal case in the field: a 37% market steam is the biggest inward move of any runner, confirmed course form (W1P1 at Windsor), proven distance fit (+), confirmed going fit on good to firm (+), and a two-class drop. The last-run '8' is not a concern at this level — it likely reflects a step up in class — while the '01' before it shows a win and a second, and James Owen's 18% strike rate with Cieren Fallon (20%) is a potent booking. Sky Secret's market support (in 23%) is real, but its SR:87 comes with 9-10 weight versus Envision's 9-4, a 6lb edge that matters over 5f on good to firm ground. Paper View's recent 1-1-9 tail-end of form and a +5 mark rise create sufficient doubt despite the equal odds. Each-way alternative: Sky Secret. Main danger: Sky Secret — Sky Secret (SR:87, 11/4, 9-10) has the highest SR in the field and a 23% market steam suggesting stable confidence, and while the weight concession to Envision is real, its raw ability edge could overpower the weight disadvantage over the minimum trip.
