Mr Fox says

Yaaser (SR:65, 5/1, Wgt:9-4) carries the lightest competitive weight in the Jim Goldie yard and has been dramatically cut from a longer price — a 53% market move inward is the strongest steam signal in this field. The -11lb mark drop since last win gives him a clear handicap advantage, and at 8 years old in Class 5 company at 9-4, connections clearly believe conditions are right today. Jim Goldie (14% strike rate, 570 runners) is the most potent yard represented and with three runners in the race, Yaaser's market move — contrasting with stablemates Sanafi Zabeel (only in7%) and Tap Dancer (out48%) — identifies him as the yard's number-one runner. The course place (W0P1) confirms track familiarity, and at 5/1 he offers genuine value against a mediocre SR ceiling across the field. Each-way alternative: Supreme Clarets. Main danger: Supreme Clarets — Supreme Clarets (SR:73, 13/2, Wgt:9-5) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has steamed in 49% — the second-largest market move — while dropping a class and carrying a favourable weight, making it a serious threat to outrate the field on ability alone.
