Mr Fox says

Mr Moonshine (SR:79, 7/2, Wgt:9-10) is the clear SR leader in this field and carries the lightest competitive weight, giving him a genuine lbs edge over L'Eagle Aid (SR:75, 10-2) — a 6lb advantage. Crucially, his DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm he is proven at today's trip and on this going, which are the two conditions most likely to expose inexperienced rivals. The market has shortened 27% since opening — meaningful money coming for a horse whose last run (form rightmost digit '0') on a tight 13-day turnaround might concern casual punters, but connections are clearly happy to run him quickly again. At 7/2 with the best SR in the field, proven distance and going credentials, and strong market support, the case is multi-signal. Each-way alternative: Jujubella. Main danger: L'Eagle Aid — L'Eagle Aid (SR:75, 11/4) is rated second in the field and carries a MarkMv:-5 drop in mark, meaning the handicapper has handed connections a potential opportunity; despite the 12% drift, the drop in class mark and Course:W1P1 record at Newcastle give him every chance of reversing form with Mr Moonshine if the pace scenario suits.
