Mr Fox says

Flann Sunna (SR 116, 5/2) is the clear class leader in this field by a significant margin — the next-best SRs are clustered at 107-109, a gap of 7-9 points at two-year-old sprint level that is substantial. The DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ flags confirm she has already won or placed at a 60%+ rate at 5f and on good-to-firm, directly matching today's conditions. William Buick (25% career strike rate, 1,513 runners) is the standout booking in the race, and the Crisford yard sits at 19% overall — a professional dual-handler operation well-suited to Group racing. The 1-1-5-3 form shows a horse that was competitive at the top level last time (3rd) after back-to-back wins, and the market at 5/2 reflects genuine confidence rather than hype. Each-way alternative: Rogue Jewel. Main danger: Fast Track — Fast Track (SR 109, 7/1) has shortened 16% in the market, carries the tongue-tie for the first time which often sharpens a two-year-old, has confirmed GoingFit:+ and DistFit:+, and Oisin Murphy (22% career strike rate) is a top-tier booking — the biggest market mover among the credible threats.
