Mr Fox says

Lady Phillips (SR 157, 7/4) is the top-rated filly in the field by a clear 3 points over New Year's Eve, and the market has backed that up emphatically — a 32% inward move signals strong stable and market confidence in a debutante. Ralph Beckett (19% strike rate from 1,726 runners) is a top trainer of fillies, and Rossa Ryan (18% strike rate from 2,951 rides) is a strong booking. On a card where every filly is unproven at the trip and going, the SR edge plus the decisive market support tips this firmly in Lady Phillips's favour over the second-favourite New Year's Eve, whose market has neither moved nor drifted, suggesting less conviction from connections. Each-way alternative: New Year's Eve. Main danger: New Year's Eve — New Year's Eve (SR 154, 5/2) is trained by William Haggas (23% strike rate) with Tom Marquand up, a formidable combination for a progressive filly stepping back to the same class — the second-highest SR in the race and a yard that routinely improves runners second time out.
