Mr Fox says

Golly Gosh (SR:75, 9/4) carries the lightest weight in the field at 11-0 and has been steamed into from a much bigger price — a 57% market contraction in a 4-runner field is a very loud signal that connections and informed money expect a big run. At age 5, this is the youngest and most likely progressive horse in the field with untapped upside. DistFit:? and GoingFit:? mean the record is unproven rather than poor, which is very different from DistFit:- (the tag Lelant and Pescatorius both carry). The trainer (13%, 121 runners) and jockey (13%, 144 runners) are both competent at this level, and a horse with no proven distance or going negatives is far more appealing than two rivals who have already demonstrated poor records at today's trip. Each-way alternative: Pescatorius. Main danger: Pescatorius — Pescatorius (SR:87, 9/4) carries a MarkMv:-2 advantage — running off a mark 2lb lower than his last win — has placed twice at Stratford (Course:W0P2) confirming course affinity, and despite the 17% drift, his recent 535-32 form shows consistent engagement at this level.
