Mr Fox says

Ina Mina (SR:88, 11/4) is the clear SR leader in this field and arrives on the back of a recent win (form reads 0880-1, last run a success 13 days ago), confirming peak form heading into today. The GoingFit:+ is a decisive signal — she is proven on good ground and today's conditions suit. The MarkMv:+13 is a genuine concern, running off a mark 13lb higher than her last winning mark, but at SR 88 she retains a meaningful class edge over every other runner in the field; no rival clears SR 80. John Shinnick's 5% strike rate is modest, but the trainer Terence O'Brien's booking of a regular claiming jockey is normal at this level, and the market at 11/4 — shortest in the field — reflects confidence that she can defy the penalty. Each-way alternative: Surviving Murmansk. Main danger: Surviving Murmansk — Surviving Murmansk (SR:77, 11/2) is the second-highest rated runner and carries only 10-3 — 22lb less than Ina Mina — which is a meaningful weight concession in a 2m hurdle on good ground, even accounting for Ina Mina's superior SR.
