Mr Fox says

Flightofthephoenix (SR:74, 5/2) shares the joint-highest SR in the field alongside Shirakawa, but carries 9-5lb less than Shirakawa (10-0 vs 9-5 — actually similar, but the market has moved decisively: in 15% since opening while Shirakawa has drifted 15%). The form string 53-772 shows a return run behind her, then a consistent recent effort 11 days ago, and Charles Hills (11% strike rate, 445 career runners) is a trainer who doesn't fire horses into handicaps without readiness — the 11-day turnaround suggests confidence in the horse's fitness. The market move from opening to 5/2 is the single strongest signal in this field: in a competitive Class 5 AW handicap at Kempton, sustained money at this price is hard to ignore, and no other runner combines SR-74, trainer quality, and that degree of market confidence. Each-way alternative: Mohaab. Main danger: Shirakawa — Shirakawa (SR:74, 6/1) has the joint-best SR, a DistFit:+ flag confirming suitability to this trip, and a recent form string of 747112 — two consecutive wins before a last-run second — suggesting a horse in very good form, and while the 15% drift is a concern, the raw ability and distance aptitude make her the most obvious threat to the selection.
