Mr Fox says

Hanney Girl (SR:76, 11/2) is dropping three class tiers — the single most significant structural advantage in the race — and the market has noticed, shortening 21% since opening. Her Course:W1P1 record at Beverley is decisive on a track that heavily rewards course specialists, and GoingFit:+ confirms she handles today's good-to-firm ground. The tongue-tie application (HG:t) signals connections are sharpening her up, and as Easterby's declared Stable:1 runner she receives the yard's best jockey booking in David Allan. At 11/2 there is genuine value given the class drop and course form combination. Each-way alternative: Qila. Main danger: Qila — Qila (SR:73, 6/1) has shortened 19% in the market — matching Hanney Girl's support — ran just 5 days ago suggesting peak fitness, and the tongue-tie application mirrors the same sharpening signal seen on Hanney Girl, making her the most credible threat at a workable each-way price.
