Mr Fox says

Gregory (SR:117, 4/6) is the clear class standout in this field — his SR of 117 is 23 points clear of the next-best Goblet of Fire (SR:94) and towers over the rest. Carrying 9-8, he has proven distance fitness (DistFit:+) and going fitness (GoingFit:+) on today's good ground over 2m at Newmarket, and the Gosden/Doyle combination delivers at 24%/21% strike rates respectively. The 103-day break is a minor concern and his mark has risen 3lb, but the quality gap is simply too large to ignore — his form line of 35/7-1 shows a recent win and the step back to Listed level (ClassMv:=) suits after presumably running in stronger company. Each-way alternative: Goblet of Fire. Main danger: Goblet of Fire — Goblet of Fire (SR:94, 15/2) has steamed in 34% in the market — the strongest market move in the race — holds genuine course form (W1P2 at Newmarket), proven distance fitness, and good-going confirmation, suggesting connections and punters believe the step up two classes is within reach.
