Mr Fox says

Samra Star (SR:74, 3/1) shares the joint-top SR in the field with Blue Celestial but carries 9-13 versus Blue Celestial's 9-8 — a 5lb disadvantage that is partially offset by far superior course-and-distance credentials: DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm she has a proven record at this trip and on this going type, whereas Blue Celestial is DistFit:- at 1m0f142y. The form string 438211 shows a horse in steep progressive form — three consecutive wins or near-wins reading right-to-left — and the market has shortened 12% (Mkt:in12%), the sharpest steamer in the field, suggesting professional money is following her. Oisin Murphy (21% career SR) is a top-tier booking for a Class 5 handicap and reinforces that connections are confident despite the step up in class (ClassMv:↑1) and a mark 9lb higher than her last win — the going and distance fit absorb much of that concern. Each-way alternative: Blue Celestial. Main danger: Blue Celestial — Blue Celestial (SR:74, 7/2) matches Samra Star on ability, carries 5lb less, has placed twice at Wolverhampton (Course:W0P2), and has shortened 8% in the market — if she handles the slightly longer trip better than her DistFit:- suggests, she has the weight advantage and course familiarity to reverse the pick.
