Mr Fox says

Dreamlover (SR 64, 7/2) sits joint-top of the SR rankings and carries 9-8 — a pound lighter than Our Fella and level with Chianti — while the market has shortened 15% since opening, the strongest inbound move in the field. Blinkers applied for the first time (HG:b) signal connections are serious about getting a response today, and trainer Richard Spencer's 16% career strike rate is the best in this race. The form string 4354 shows consistent mid-pack finishes that suggest a horse ready to graduate with the right conditions, and the going query (GoingFit:?) is no worse than most rivals at this level. Each-way alternative: Chianti. Main danger: Dreams Galore — Dreams Galore (SR 64, 10/3) matches Dreamlover on SR, holds a course win and place (Course:W1P1) which is the strongest course profile in the field, and at a joint-best price the drift of 22% is puzzling but may simply reflect the step up in mark (+2) rather than any fitness concern.
