Mr Fox says

Cotton Socks (SR 112, 4/1) is the class standout in this field — a full 11 points above the next-best Uhtred Ragnarson (SR 101) and 19+ above most rivals. The 38% market move in (Mkt:in38%) is the strongest steam in the race, signalling significant stable confidence. Connections with Lucy Wadham (17%, 189 runners) and Tom Cannon (18%, 575 runners) represent a competent pairing, and at 11-12 the weight is manageable given the SR advantage. The unknowns (DistFit:? and GoingFit:?) are a genuine caveat on a horse that hasn't shown its hand at this trip or on good ground, but the SR cushion and market conviction together outweigh those question marks on a Class 5 card. Each-way alternative: Uhtred Ragnarson. Main danger: Uhtred Ragnarson — Uhtred Ragnarson (SR 101, 7/2) is the market favourite with DistFit:+, GoingFit:+, Harry Cobden booked (22%, 882 runners), dropping in class (ClassMv:↓1) and is gently steaming — the strongest combination of proven fitness flags in the field, and only a 5lb mark rise stops this being a clear-cut selection.
