Mr Fox says

Lauderdale King (SR:79, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in this field by a clear margin and arrives in career-best form with a 5-1-1 sequence (Form:034511), winning his last two outings. At 9-7 he carries a manageable weight and, while both DistFit and GoingFit are unproven (?), his recent winning momentum and superior SR of 79 over a field where the next-best SRs (Rakki, Justenzia, Unfold) are 71-73 represent a meaningful ability edge. Trainer A. Slattery runs at 11% and the market drift is only a marginal 5%, suggesting no strong stable concerns. The MarkMv:+6 is modest and well within the range a horse in this sort of form can absorb. Each-way alternative: Grann's Boy. Main danger: Grann's Boy — Grann's Boy (SR:70, 13/2) has a striking MarkMv:-65 suggesting a dramatically dropped handicap mark that could make him very well-treated, and his form includes a recent win (Form:70/1-2) for a yard running at 10% — if that mark drop translates to class relief on this trip, he is the most dangerous alternative.
