Mr Fox says

Sir Carnegie (SR:115, 9/4) has steamed in 29% since opening and carries the lightest weight in the field at 11-1, giving him a 13lb advantage over top-weight Golden Point and meaningful concessions to both rivals. His Course:W1P1 record at Kelso is a significant differentiator in a four-runner field where no other runner has proven course form, and his recent form string of 116513 shows consistent competitiveness at this class level with a last-run third suggesting he's in the mix. Brian Hughes on Upfordebate is the main danger, but Upfordebate is now running off a mark 6lb higher than his last win (MarkMv:+6) which is a notable concern, and GoingFit:? means the course specialist with weight in hand gets the vote. Each-way alternative: Upfordebate. Main danger: Upfordebate — Upfordebate is the market favourite at 13/8 with a 20% move in, Brian Hughes (19% strike rate, 964 career rides) is a significant booking, and his last-run win at the same class confirms current form — the +6lb mark rise is the only real concern.
