Mr Fox says

Wuood (SR 155, 10/11) is the standout on ability in this modest 4-runner novice, carrying an SR that dwarfs the field by a significant margin — 10 points clear of Cercis (SR 145) and 68 points clear of One Of The Boys (SR 87). Despite 163 days off the track, Richard Hannon (13% strike rate, 1,269 career runners) is an experienced handler of lightly-raced 3-year-olds, and Sean Levey (11%, 892 runners) is a seasoned partner who knows when to hunt down a race. The single run showing a '2' suggests untapped potential at this 7f trip, and at Class 4 this is well within Wuood's reach. The market reflects this — 10/11 favourite — and while nothing points to anything dramatically wrong, the SR gap alone justifies confidence. Each-way alternative: One Of The Boys. Main danger: One Of The Boys — One Of The Boys (SR 87, 5/4) is proven at today's distance (DistFit:+) and has placed consistently (Form: 2-33), meaning if Wuood is ring-rusty after 163 days off, the more race-fit runner could capitalise on any sluggishness in the market leader.
