Mr Fox says

Knights Charge (SR:108, 4/6) is the standout on every meaningful metric. He carries the highest SR in the field by 13 points over the next best, is proven at this trip (DistFit:+), holds a course win and place (Course:W1P1), drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), and has been backed aggressively — Mkt:in25% represents the heaviest inbound market move in the race. Roger Varian's 20% strike rate is the strongest trainer figure in the field, and a form line of 3-112 (last two runs wins) confirms he arrives in peak form. The weight of 9-9 is manageable in this company and gives him a 4lb pull on top-weight Boyfriend. Opposing him requires a specific flaw and none exists in the data. Each-way alternative: Heyzoom. Main danger: Heyzoom — Heyzoom (SR:92, 7/2) is ridden by Oisin Murphy (22% strike rate), drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), and carries only 9-6 — giving him a 3lb pull on Knights Charge — and while the 20% drift is a mild concern, his connections quality and weight advantage make him the most credible threat.
