Mr Fox says

Pharitz Lahia (SR 146, 11/4) presents the best combination of rating, weight, and recency. At 9-12 he is 2lb lighter than Zizania Du Mazet (SR 151, 10-0) who carries a meaningful burden despite holding the SR edge — and critically, Zizania has drifted 6% in the market, a warning sign that connections are not confident. Pharitz ran just 9 days ago, indicating he is fit and race-sharp, and his form string -53255 shows consistent placed efforts at this level. The trainer Mrs B Aashour has a limited public profile but Kieran O'Neill (16% strike rate in a supporting role elsewhere on this card) is a capable booking, and at 11/4 the market still respects his claims without overestimating them. Each-way alternative: Sassy. Main danger: Zizania Du Mazet — Despite the 6% market drift, Zizania Du Mazet holds the field's highest SR at 151 and Jack Mitchell (16% career strike rate) is a strong booking — if the drift was noise rather than a signal, this horse's raw ability makes it the most likely alternative winner.
