Mr Fox says

Hygge (SR 90, 9/2) is the top-rated horse in the field and the market has spoken clearly with a 28% inward move — the strongest steaming of any runner. Gordon Elliott (18% strike rate, 4,077 runners) booking Colin Keane (16%, 2,390 runners) is a powerful stable-jockey combination that signals serious intent. GoingFit:+ confirms the good ground suits, and while DistFit:? flags an unproven trip, the form string 1019 shows a recent win and the tongue-tie (HG:t) is a positive intervention. At 9-11 she carries a competitive weight and the SR edge over co-priced rivals is meaningful. Each-way alternative: Quatre Bras. Main danger: Wie Wunderbar — Wie Wunderbar (SR 88, 9/2) matches Hygge on SR, carries the lightest weight in the field at 8-7, and a recent form string of 362132 shows consistent improvement under Mrs Harrington — the 10lb pull on Hygge could prove decisive if the unproven trip suits.
