Mr Fox says

The Anthony Gover (SR 84, 11/8) is the clear class standout in this field, rated 12 points above the next best (Ziggy's Avenger, SR 72) and 22+ points above most rivals. The form string 463211 shows a progressive horse that has won its last two starts, and it returns just seven days later in excellent nick. Course:W2P3 at Wolverhampton is a powerful signal on this specialist track, DistFit:+ confirms comfort at this trip, trainer Dr Richard Newland hits at 21% (158 runners) and Billy Loughnane is a 18% jockey. The market has shortened 13% since opening — money is following the form — while stepping up just one class (ClassMv:↑1) on the same mark as its last win (MarkMv:=) means it isn't being punished by the handicapper. Everything points the same direction. Each-way alternative: Ziggy's Avenger. Main danger: Ziggy's Avenger — Ziggy's Avenger (SR 72, 9/2) has steamed in 36% in the market, carries a favourable 9-8 and has a GoingFit:+ — the money is real and it represents the only other runner with multiple positive signals aligning.
