Mr Fox says

Rula Bula (SR:123, 13/8) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has steamed in 41% in the market — the strongest absolute move in the race — ridden by Jonjo O'Neill Jr. who carries a 15% career strike rate from 541 runners, a notably strong book for a Class 4 at Uttoxeter. The form string /1575- shows a win on return from a break and the yard (Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill, 11% from 663) is a competent handler at this level. Bleu d'Enfer's 30% market move is meaningful but is partly countered by top-weight 12-0, a modest SR of 119 against Rula Bula's 123, and a form string (9-2462) that does not feature a win; Rula Bula's negatives (DistFit:? and GoingFit:?) are shared concerns but its superior SR and larger market move tip the balance. Each-way alternative: Bleu d'Enfer. Main danger: Bleu d'Enfer — Bleu d'Enfer's 30% market steam is the second-largest move in the race and GoingFit:+ on today's good ground gives it a confirmed edge in conditions that Rula Bula has not yet demonstrated.
