Mr Fox says

Boiling Point (SR 121, 7/2) carries the joint-lightest weight in the rated field at 9-5 and has steamed in 44% from its opening price — the sharpest market move in the race by a distance, indicating strong professional support. Its course record of W2P5 at Newmarket is the best in the field and directly relevant on this track, while GoingFit:+ confirms it handles today's good ground. The form line of 134262 shows consistent competitiveness at this class level, and MarkMv:-3 means it is running off a more forgiving mark than at its last win. Against The Lost King (SR 123, 7/4, MarkMv:+8), Boiling Point carries the same 9-5 but is running off a lower mark with demonstrably better course form and far superior market confidence; The Lost King's mark has crept up 8lb above its last winning mark, a tangible negative. Each-way alternative: The Lost King. Main danger: The Lost King — The Lost King (SR 123, 7/4) is the highest-rated runner in the field with William Buick booked, GoingFit:+ and DistFit:+ confirmed, and a course record of W1P2 at Newmarket — if the 8lb mark rise since its last win is absorbed on this track, it has the profile to win.
