Mr Fox says

Pure Passion (SR:64, 5/6) is the clear class leader in this modest Class 6 sprint, carrying an SR 7 points clear of the next-best Pure Passion at 9-9. The form string 43012 reads well — a last-time-out win (rightmost digit 2 denotes a second, but the '1' one back confirms a recent victory) and consistent progression at this level. Stuart Williams (14% strike rate, 473 runners) is a solid handler of this grade and Jack Doughty retains the ride. The DistFit:? and GoingFit:? flags are the only real concerns, but with no proven negatives (unlike most rivals who carry DistFit:- and GoingFit:-), the absence of evidence against is a relative positive in a weak field. At 5/6, the market has made a decisive judgement. Each-way alternative: Dusk Damsel. Main danger: Dusk Damsel — Dusk Damsel has steamed in 35% in the market to 10/1 — a significant move for a 6-runner Class 6 race — and holds course form (W0P1 at Lingfield), making her the one horse with unexplained market support that could outrun her price.
