Mr Fox says

Spinning Wheel (SR 102, 9/2) is the highest-rated horse in this field by a clear margin — 3 points ahead of Ultrasoul and 8 points ahead of the next cluster — and carries a manageable 9-10 off a mark that is only 7lb above last win, which is not a prohibitive rise. The 14% market move inward is a meaningful steamer for a Crisford yard that hits at 19% career strike rate, suggesting connections are confident despite the 61-day break. The form string 021-20 shows consistent competitiveness at this level, and 9-10 is a comfortable mid-weight in a field where the SR differential strongly favours this horse. The main caveat is unproven distance and going fitness (both flagged ?), but the SR lead and market momentum override those uncertainties in a Class 2 AW contest. Each-way alternative: French Duke. Main danger: French Duke — French Duke (SR 94, 5/1) has steamed in 46% — the biggest move in the field — with James Doyle booked and a trainer hitting 18% strike rate, and although DistFit:- is a concern at this trip, the market confidence is impossible to ignore and the drop to 9-6 gives a 4lb weight pull on Spinning Wheel.
