Mr Fox says

Hauteluce (SR 91, 11/10) is the clear class-leader in this field by a meaningful margin — 10 SR points clear of the next-best Dovecote (SR 81) and 15 clear of Kaaranah (SR 79). Carrying a relatively light 9-8 for a horse at the top of the ability range, with DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirming proven effectiveness at this trip and going, Ed Walker's 3yo has ticked every box. The market has reacted accordingly, shortening 16% since opening, which is the strongest directional signal in the field. Course form of W1P1 at Wolverhampton adds further specificity, and a recent form line of 5-1316 shows a win two runs ago at this level; the 6 last time can be excused as it came off a MarkMv:+4 and the steamer today suggests connections are confident that run is forgettable. Each-way alternative: Reveur. Main danger: Reveur — Reveur (SR 76, 5/1) has shortened 16% in the market matching Hauteluce's steam, jockey Billy Loughnane carries an 18% career strike rate, and the drop in class (ClassMv:↓1) could unlock a better performance than the recent 0 last time out suggests.
