Mr Fox says

Madam Speaker (SR 121, 4/6) is the clear class standout — rated 22 points above the next-best Harzandacassandra (SR 99) and a full 30 points above Passing Chance (SR 95). Trained by Nicky Henderson (25% strike rate from 850 career runners), the strongest yard in the field by some margin, and dropping three class tiers (ClassMv:↓3) into this Class 5 mares' bumper, which represents a significant competitive advantage. The form of 22- (two placed efforts on her last two runs) shows she has been hitting the frame consistently and comes here with a fitness edge over the more lightly-raced rivals. Yes, the 4/6 price is short, but the SR gap, the Henderson operation, and the class drop together make this a straightforward case — there is no credible rival running off a comparable profile. Each-way alternative: Harzandacassandra. Main danger: Harzandacassandra — Harzandacassandra (SR 99, 6/1) is the most market-fancied rival having steamed in 41%, suggesting stable confidence, and the trainer partnership of Killahena & McPherson hits 17% from 264 runners — the form of 70- contains a placed effort and the market move cannot be ignored.
