Mr Fox says

Little Tiger (SR:57, 5/1, 9-6) shares the top SR in the field with Dinah Myte but brings a decisive course record (W1P5 at Leicester) that no other realistic contender can match. The market has steamed in 43% — the strongest move in the field — suggesting informed support on ground conditions or stable confidence. At 9-6 the weight is manageable and the form string 0-4620 shows a 2nd and a win in recent starts, with the rightmost 0 explainable as a single bad run rather than a systemic problem. GoingFit:? is the one unknown — heavy ground is unproven — but the course specialisation and market move outweigh that concern in a Class 6 field where nothing else carries multiple aligning signals. Each-way alternative: Westender. Main danger: Dinah Myte — Dinah Myte (SR:57, 4/1) matches Little Tiger on ability, has backed in 29% and holds a course win (W1P1), though DistFit:- is a genuine concern at 1m2f on heavy ground for a horse that prefers shorter.
