Mr Fox says

Drumlee Myth (SR 100, 3/1) is the highest-rated runner in the field and carries a featherweight 10-11, giving him a meaningful pounds advantage over his nearest rivals — 13lb less than top-weight Dolly Dior (SR 92) and 7lb less than Dalileo (SR 97). His recent form reads 6/59-1, with that last-time-out win signalling peak form, and the market has shortened 20% since opening, suggesting professional money is on board. Though DistFit and GoingFit are unproven, the weight-in-class edge at the top SR in the field is a compelling combination in a competitive Class 5 hurdle. Each-way alternative: Dalileo. Main danger: Dalileo — Dalileo (SR 97, 6/1) has an outstanding course record of W2P3 at Perth, proven distance fitness (DistFit:+) and good-going aptitude (GoingFit:+), and his form reads 4-7311 — three wins or seconds from his last three completions — making him a serious threat despite running off a mark 6lb higher than his last win.
