Mr Fox says

Londoner (SR:96, 7/2) is the clear SR leader in this field by a meaningful margin and has steamed in 48% in the market — the most dramatic move of any runner today, suggesting significant stable confidence. Billy Loughnane (18% strike rate, 3152 career runs) is a strong booking who knows what he's sitting on. The Course:W0P3 record at Kempton shows familiarity with the track, and a ClassMv:= means this is no harder than recent assignments. The GoingFit:- is the one genuine concern on today's Good to Soft, but the market clearly isn't troubled by it, and the 48% support is too loud to ignore. Each-way alternative: Charmaine. Main danger: Assail — Assail (SR:86, 15/2) has been backed in 24% from opening, carries just 9-5, drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), runs off a mark 5lb lower than his last win (MarkMv:-5), and holds course form (W1P2 at Kempton) — a strong convergence of signals that could make him the value alternative.
