Mr Fox says

Spasiba (SR:86, 11/4) posts the second-highest SR in the field and carries a fair 9-11, giving it a clear 10lb weight advantage over top-weight Delta (SR:90, 10-7) — a meaningful concession in a 2m handicap on good ground. Crucially, the market has shortened 12% since opening, indicating informed support for a Willie Mullins-trained runner (21% career strike rate, the strongest yard in the field) ridden by Ben Coen (12% strike rate). The form string 69379/ reads as workmanlike but the Mullins operation rarely runs a horse at 11/4 without genuine expectation, and the weight-SR combination tilts the value equation clearly in Spasiba's favour over the favourite Delta, which has drifted 13% from its opening price — a significant negative signal. Each-way alternative: Way Down South. Main danger: Delta — Delta holds the highest SR in the field (90) and is trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien (16% strike rate) — if the market drift of 13% is explained by a fitness query rather than form concerns, it retains a class edge that could assert itself over 2m.
