Mr Fox says

Astrological (SR 92) is the clear class leader in this field — a full 16 points clear of the next-best rated runner (Wonder at SR 81) — and carries only 9-4, giving it a meaningful weight advantage over the joint top-weights at 10-4. The form string '2131' is consistent and progressive, the last run a win, and GoingFit:+ confirms proven ability on today's going. Market has shortened 19% since opening, adding professional money behind the case. The step up in class (↑1) and running off a mark 6lb higher than the last win are the two risks, but the SR gap over rivals is large enough to absorb both. Each-way alternative: Jindri. Main danger: Jindri — Jindri (SR 75, 10/1) has steamed in 41% in the market, holds Course:W1P2 at Southwell giving it a significant specialist track advantage, and DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at this trip — a combination of signals that makes it the most credible threat to the class-rated favourite.
