Mr Fox says

Military Girl (SR:87, 9/4) is the highest-rated runner in the field and carries just 9-8, a 1lb pull on J Street despite matching her SR. Her form string 4-3112 shows a clear upward trajectory culminating in back-to-back wins, she holds a Course:W1P2 record at Thirsk confirming she handles this track, and her DistFit:+ proves she's proven at 5f. Connor Beasley (14% strike rate, the strongest jockey stat in the field) is a significant booking. The 12% drift is a mild concern but the course form and proven distance record are compelling positives that the market may be overreacting to given the 52-day absence. Each-way alternative: J Street. Main danger: Azuinthejungle — Azuinthejungle (SR:83) arrives on a hot 473211 form sequence with two consecutive wins including a last-time-out victory just 10 days ago, carries DistFit:+ at 5f, and shares the same odds as the favourite — the GoingFit:- is the only genuine concern.
