Mr Fox says

Canon's House (SR:81, 13/2) combines the strongest cluster of positive signals in this field. The market has shortened 13% since opening — meaningful in a 13-runner handicap — and the horse brings Course:W1P1 at Hamilton plus a MarkMv:-2 advantage, running off a mark 2lb lower than at last win. Weight of 9-8 sits comfortably in the mid-range of the field, avoiding the burden of the top-weights. The trainer/jockey combo (Easterby/Mason, 11% strike rate over 647 rides) is workmanlike but reliable, and a ClassMv:↓1 drop brings a softer assignment. The form string 250634 shows consistency without a big win lately, but conditions — Good to Soft at Hamilton over 5f, dropping in class, dropping in mark — are set up for a career-best effort. Each-way alternative: Jordan Electrics. Main danger: Jordan Electrics — Jordan Electrics (SR:86, the field's joint-highest rating) is a Hamilton specialist with Course:W9P18 — an extraordinary course record — and last-time-out form figure of 1, making it the most proven course performer by a wide margin despite GoingFit:- and a MarkMv:+4 penalty.
