Mr Fox says

Flying Moonlight (SR 55, 9/2) matches the top SR tier in this field and carries a significant weight advantage at 9-1 versus Wicklow Way's 10-0 — a 13lb edge that matters considerably at 1m2f on good ground. The form string 777-33 shows consistent placed efforts culminating in two recent thirds, suggesting a horse improving toward a win rather than regressing. Crucially, the market has shortened 11% and the horse has course form (W0P1 at Ayr), both corroborating signals the stable believes conditions suit. At 9/2 with the lightest weight among the SR-competitive horses and a market move in its favour, this represents the best convergence of signals in the field. Each-way alternative: Sassy Glory. Main danger: Sassy Glory — Sassy Glory (SR 56, 7/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a fraction, has proven distance fitness (DistFit:+) and course form (W0P1 at Ayr), is ridden by the more accomplished Jason Hart (14% strike rate), and has shortened 7% in the market — the Walford yard's clear #1 runner over stablemate Wicklow Way.
