Mr Fox says

Ziggy's Condor (SR:71, 11/4) has steamed in 18% in the market — the strongest market move in the field by some margin — and James Doyle (18% career strike rate, 330 runners) is a high-quality booking that rarely appears in Class 5 sprint handicaps without purpose. At 9-9 it carries the top weight but its SR:71 is joint-highest in the field and it comes back just 5 days after its last run, suggesting the yard has identified a spot. The DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are genuine concerns, but the visor application and the dramatic market confidence override those negatives — connections are clearly expecting a different performance here. Each-way alternative: Miraculous. Main danger: Miraculous — Miraculous (SR:72, 4/1) shares the field's highest SR, drops a class with its mark down a significant 12lb since last win, and Tim Easterby's yard is capable of placing horses precisely — the DistFit:~ and GoingFit:~ are moderate rather than negative, and at 4/1 it represents the most credible threat to the selection.
