Mr Fox says

Southern Boulevard (SR 156) is the clear class leader in this field, rating 10 points above the next-best Eagle Eclipse (SR 146) and 15 above Walk On Harry (SR 145). The G M Lyons/Colin Keane combination is elite — Lyons strikes at 15% and Keane at 16% — and both are trusted top-level juvenile connections. The 9-2 weight assignment is the lightest possible for a filly/female and gives a minor edge. The 9% market drift is a mild concern but likely reflects the drop to 5f from her previous outings given she showed a place effort (form 53 shows a third last time), and her SR superiority over the rest of the field is substantial enough to overcome that modest drift. Each-way alternative: Eagle Eclipse. Main danger: Eagle Eclipse — Eagle Eclipse (SR 146) is a Seamie Heffernan booking for J A Stack on debut — a powerful combination that often signals a well-prepared first-runner, and at 5/1 the market still holds reasonable confidence despite the 30% drift which may simply reflect debut uncertainty rather than a negative stable signal.
