Mr Fox says

Black Storm (SR:80, 11/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and has steamed in 49% in the market — the strongest market move in the race. Carrying 9-10, Black Storm has a meaningful weight advantage over Runninsonofagun (SR:78, 9-12) and is proven at this distance (DistFit:+). The going is Good and while GoingFit is only moderate (~), the market money suggests connections are unconcerned. Trainer Katie Scott's 7% strike rate is modest but the booking of Oisin Orr (14% career SR, 706 rides) is a positive signal, and the form string 442533 shows consistent competitiveness at this level — the horse is not being avoided on form grounds, and the market is clearly not either. Each-way alternative: Runninsonofagun. Main danger: Runninsonofagun — Runninsonofagun (SR:78, 7/2) is the second-highest rated horse in the field, has shortened 15% in the market, holds DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ — the best going credentials in the race — and trainer Tristan Davidson operates at an 18% strike rate, the strongest yard stat on the card.
