Mr Fox says

Dove Tale (SR 158, 6/4) is the class standout by a clear margin — 7 SR points ahead of Neswick and 8 ahead of Walking On Stars — and is trained by John & Thady Gosden whose 24% strike rate from 751 runners is the strongest yard in the field by distance. The market has shortened 8% since opening (Mkt:in8%), confirming professional confidence, and the hood (HG:h) suggests connections have found a gear since the '9' last time. Only 8 days between runs points to a yard that knows this filly is ready to bounce back and capitalise on a weak novice field at Class 3. Each-way alternative: Neswick. Main danger: Neswick — Neswick (SR 151, 4/1) showed a place at this course on debut and steps up in class, but the 28% market drift is a concern — connections may be treating it as a learning run after 108 days off.
