Mr Fox says

Maid In Devon (SR:85, 7/2) is the clear class leader in this field — 13 SR points clear of the next-best Solar Invincible — and is the only horse with proven distance fitness (DistFit:+), critically important in a 6f12y handicap where most rivals have a poor or unproven record at the trip. The 32% market steam is the strongest confidence signal in the race and suggests connections have targeted this. Recent form 451116 shows a horse who won three of its last four starts before a course-track sixth, and the same weight (9-8) as several rivals means no significant burden. Rod Millman's 13% strike rate is solid for a handler at this level, and Jack Doughty holds his own in these Class 5 contests. Each-way alternative: Solar Invincible. Main danger: Solar Invincible — Solar Invincible (SR:75, 7/2) has GoingFit:+ on today's good-to-firm ground and Billy Loughnane's 19% career strike rate is the strongest jockey booking in the field, giving it a live chance despite DistFit:- and a 5lb higher mark than its last win.
