Mr Fox says

Warrior Mode (SR:85, 2/1) is the SR leader in a modest Class 4 field and has seen dramatic market support — a 32% inward move to 2/1 is significant money talking on an AW track where market confidence is rarely misplaced. The 10-3 weight burden is the primary concern, but with a field SR ceiling of 85 this is not a race where rivals are being compressed by class, and the Prescott yard (19% strike rate) tends to target specific races deliberately. The DistFit:- flag is noted — the horse hasn't shown distance aptitude at 1m — but the market is clearly overriding that with confidence, and Prescott's horses often improve sharply off layoffs when pitched at the right race. The combination of top SR, most aggressive market move in the field, and a top handler committing fully here makes Warrior Mode the most credible selection. Each-way alternative: Grey Soul. Main danger: Metallo — Metallo (SR:82, 4/1) has seen a 49% inward market move — the second-strongest steam in the race — and David Egan (13% strike rate, 528 runners) is a meaningful upgrade in riding quality, suggesting the yard has targeted this race with intent despite a flat recent form string of 046440.
