Mr Fox says

Motawaared (SR 82, 6/5) is the clear class leader in this field — 10 SR points clear of the next-best Ephron (SR 72) — and his form string of 222521 shows consistent competitiveness culminating in a win last time out. He runs off a mark only 2lb higher than that win (MarkMv:+2), carries a favourable 10-8 with the lightest competitive weight in the field, and has three places at Musselburgh (Course:W0P3) confirming course affinity. The GoingFit:- flag is the one genuine concern on good to soft, but only 4 days ago he ran, indicating connections are not worried about conditions, and his SR dominance over rivals is substantial enough to absorb a ground query. Jim Goldie's 14% strike rate with 2,075 runners is a reliable yard, and the price at 6/5 is fair for a horse with this SR advantage and course familiarity. Each-way alternative: Ephron. Main danger: Ephron — Ephron (SR 72, 13/2) has a form line ending in 7 then 6 then a winning 1 at this class, has been gently backed (Mkt:in6%), and jockey Miss Amy Collier carries an 18% strike rate from 40 rides — the strongest jockey strike rate in the field — giving her the best chance of any rival to peg back the favourite.
