Mr Fox says

Fallen Angel (SR 121, 10/11) is the clear class standout in this Listed field, with an SR that dwarfs the next-best Noche Clasica (SR 104) by 17 points. The form string 1110-4 shows three consecutive wins before a fourth-place return — the last run 86 days ago at this same Listed level (ClassMv:=) signals freshness rather than decline, and the yard's 19% strike rate with James Doyle (18%) is a quality booking. The market drift of 16% is the main concern and must be respected, but no rival carries the evidence base to topple her on ability: Alobayyah (SR 101) steps up a tier off a mark 6lb higher than her last win and has drifted 6%; Calendar Girl (SR 113) has 302 days off the track and a mark 12lb above her last win. Fallen Angel's raw SR advantage is simply too large to dismiss, and first-time cheekpieces (HG:p) suggest connections are priming her to fire. Each-way alternative: Noche Clasica. Main danger: Noche Clasica — Noche Clasica (SR 104, 17/2) has steamed in 43% in the market, GoingFit:+ and DistFit:+ on today's conditions, and stays at the same class — the money is clearly on her being sharper and more race-ready than a 86-day-absent Fallen Angel.
