Mr Fox says

Spirit Of Acklam (SR:82, 9/2) arrives off a career-best form line finishing 1st last time out, carries a manageable 10-2, and crucially shows GoingFit:+ on today's good ground — the only runner combining a recent win, confirmed going suitability, and meaningful market support (11% steam). The Easterby yard runs at 9% strike rate but Joanna Mason (11% career SR) is a competent partner for this trip, and the MarkMv:+1 means the handicapper has barely reacted to the win, leaving value intact. The 9/2 price implies roughly 18% market probability, but the convergence of form, going fit, and money shortening the price pushes my estimate materially higher. Each-way alternative: Star Cast. Main danger: Star Cast — Star Cast (SR:84, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field with Course:W1P2 at Ayr and a DistFit:+ over 1m2f, and its 20% drift may reflect stable tactics rather than a genuine negative — if Gemma Tutty's yard has identified this as their number-one runner over stablemate Ziata, the course-and-distance profile makes it the most likely winner.
