Mr Fox says

Ratemenow (SR 94, 11/8) is the class benchmark in this field, carrying a 10lb SR advantage over the next-best Upton's Mighty Oak (SR 84) and a 22-point gap over Footage Detectives (SR 71). Although top-weight at 12-0, the margin of ability over this modest Class 5 field justifies the burden, and on good ground the weight penalty is less punishing than it would be in soft conditions. The favourite tag here is backed by genuine SR superiority rather than market sentiment alone — Susan Corbett's 11% strike rate is modest but Nathan Moscrop, who rides for the yard regularly, is a capable claimer who will not add to the weight disadvantage. The market has not drifted, which confirms no stable concerns. Each-way alternative: Upton's Mighty Oak. Main danger: Slievehill — Slievehill's 29% market move inward is the most significant market signal in the race and Kielan Woods (14% career strike rate, 579 runners) is a meaningful booking upgrade — if the stable believes the 9-year-old has rediscovered form, it could outrun its SR of 82 at 13/2.
