Mr Fox says

Georgia Celena (SR:86, 11/4) is the clear SR leader in this field by a significant margin — 8 points clear of the next-best Georgia Celena at 86 versus My Good Pal at 78 — and carries a manageable 11-9. Her GoingFit:+ confirms she handles good ground, a critical advantage in a field where four runners show GoingFit:- on today's conditions. The McConnell yard has a low overall strike rate but Patrick O'Brien (5lb claim, 9% career rate) is a capable conditional, and at 11/4 the market is backing the SR superiority despite no additional market steam. The form line 20-3U2 shows consistent proximity to the frame with an unseating obscuring what would likely be a stronger sequence. Each-way alternative: Sineads Fancy. Main danger: Sineads Fancy — Sineads Fancy (SR:74, 17/2) has shortened 11% in the market, carries a very light 10-4 giving away at least 5lb to most rivals, and Jack Kennedy's stablemate Sneddy Eddie is drifting while this one is being backed — the weight-plus-market combination could see her outrun a modest SR on this handicap mark.
