Mr Fox says

Hostelry (SR:61, 2/1) is the clear class standout in this field — an SR of 61 towers over the next-best Millbuie (SR:59) and Spirit Of Nature (SR:52) in a race where most runners sit below 50. The market has steamed in 18% to 2/1, confirming confidence. The MarkMv:-18 flag is significant: running off a mark 18lb lower than at last win, which in a flat classified stakes context means the handicapper has given connections serious room to manoeuvre. At age 9 the concern is freshness, but 9 days since last run and consistent recent form (455545 — placed finishes throughout) suggest a horse in active campaigning order. GoingFit:~ on good ground is acceptable, and the DistFit:- at 1m is the one genuine worry, though at Class 6 level the SR advantage should overcome a marginal trip concern. Each-way alternative: Millbuie. Main danger: Millbuie — Millbuie (SR:59, 10/3) has steamed in 39% in the market, boasts course form (W0P1 at Ayr), and the trainer Ewan Whillans runs at a respectable 13% strike rate — if the GoingFit:- concern proves overstated on what may be drying ground, this horse is right in the mix.
