Mr Fox says

Mr Moonshine (SR:72, 9/2, Wgt:9-9) combines the joint-best SR in the field with confirmed distance and going suitability (DistFit:+, GoingFit:+) — the only horse in the field ticking both boxes — and has been backed in 12% from opening (Mkt:in12%). His form string 233104 shows a recent win and he remains at the same class (ClassMv:=), albeit off a mark 3lb higher than last win (MarkMv:+3), which is manageable. Jockey Ethan Tindall carries a 5lb claim, effectively reducing the weight burden to a net 9-4, which compares very favourably against joint-SR equals Saxophonist (9-10) and Farabove The Limit (9-5 but ClassMv:↑1). The market confidence, proven trip/going profile, and weight advantage over rivals of similar ability make him the standout selection. Each-way alternative: Farabove The Limit. Main danger: Saxophonist — Saxophonist (SR:73, 11/4, Wgt:9-10) holds the field's highest SR, drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), is handled by top jockey Daniel Tudhope (18% career strike rate), and the going is within his range (GoingFit:~) — if his unproven trip (DistFit:?) is not a problem, he has the ability to win.
