Mr Fox says

Diamond Ali (SR:64, 7/2, 9-5) posts the highest SR in the field and carries a manageable weight, giving her a meaningful ability edge over the 12-runner field where the next-best rated horses (Willowinghurn SR:62, Gal SR:60) carry heavier burdens or face more adverse signals. Her form string 277-71 shows a recent win, and the MarkMv:+2 penalty is modest — connections clearly felt she was competitive enough to run off it. The Birkett yard strikes at 12% from a small but meaningful 60-runner sample, and William Carson (9%, 560 runners) is an experienced booking for a 7f80y handicap on good ground. The 74-day absence with cheekpieces fitted is a minor concern, but the overall package of top SR, fair weight, recent winning form, and a price that reflects some scepticism about the layoff makes this the standout selection. Each-way alternative: Follow My Heart. Main danger: Willowinghurn — Despite the DistFit:- and GoingFit:- flags, Willowinghurn's SR:62 and a MarkMv:-10 drop means she is running off a mark 10lb below her last win, which is a powerful handicapper's tool that could overcome the trip/ground concerns at 11/4.
