Mr Fox says

Fallacious Promise leads the field on SR (81) and carries only 9-2, giving a meaningful weight edge over Roi de Coeur (SR 77, 9-9) and Ballybunion (SR 75, 9-6). The form string 922312 shows a consistent progression to a recent second, and two prior places at Kempton (Course:W0P2) confirm track familiarity on this all-weather surface. John Butler runs at 14% and Luke Morris at 11% are reliable connections, and the 5/2 market position reflects genuine confidence despite the step up in class (ClassMv:↑1). The +10 mark rise is the one concern, but the SR advantage and weight allowance offset that risk materially. Each-way alternative: Shadowmere. Main danger: Ballybunion — Ballybunion (SR 75, 10/3 favourite, market shortened 8%) is the joint-highest-rated runner in realistic contention and carries only 9-6, with Callum Shepherd — a 14% strike-rate jockey — booked and money arriving late, suggesting connections expect a bold run on return.
