Mr Fox says

Midnight's Dream (SR:68, 5/1, Wgt:9-9) is the highest-rated runner in this field by a clear margin and carries a favourable weight — 11lb less than top-weight Lerwick. The market has backed it in sharply by 29%, confirming professional confidence, and GoingFit:+ confirms proven ability on today's good ground. Trainer Joseph Parr's 4% strike rate is modest, but Daniel Muscutt is a strong booking at 12% career SR and the market money is the overriding signal here. The DistFit:- is a concern at 7f1y, but the class and rating advantage over this field is decisive in a low-grade Class 6 handicap where the SR ceiling is just 68. Each-way alternative: Split Elevens. Main danger: Oxford Circus — Oxford Circus (SR:61, 4/1) has shortened 42% in the market — the most dramatic move in the field — carrying the lightest weight at 9-2 for a big yard (James Owen, 18% strike rate) with Callum Shepherd booked; the market is clearly on, and light weight can offset the GoingFit:- concern at this level.
