Mr Fox says

Claude (SR:107, 4/1, Wgt:11-8) shares the top SR rating with Churchwarden but carries 4lb less and has seen a dramatic 47% market move inward — the strongest market signal in the race by a wide margin. A small yard (Connell, 14% strike rate from only 22 runners) attracting that level of money suggests connections are confident. The GoingFit:~ is not ideal but neither is it a disqualifier, and at 5 years old there is residual improvement to come. The form string 7P-030 is modest but the market is clearly telling us this horse is primed for a better showing today. Each-way alternative: Churchwarden. Main danger: Churchwarden — Churchwarden (SR:107, 9/4, Course:W1P1) shares the top SR, has proven course form, and suits today's good going (GoingFit:+), though the 8% drift and a MarkMv:+48 are significant concerns that keep it off the top spot.
