Mr Fox says

Shallow (SR:83, 10/3) carries the joint-lightest weight among the leading contenders at 9-7 and is the only runner showing a confirmed market move inward of 10% — money is coming for this horse. The visor application (HG:v) signals connections are serious about getting a performance today, and the GoingFit:~ on good-to-firm is the best ground profile of any horse in the shortlist outside Adalida. The ClassMv:↓1 drop means this is an easier task than last time, and Course:W0P2 shows familiarity with Newmarket July course without the handicapper having crushed her at this track. While her recent form string 332920 includes a poor run, the 10% market move into 10/3 from what would have opened around 19/4 suggests connections see today's conditions — class drop, visor, weight — aligning in her favour. Each-way alternative: Zighy. Main danger: Zighy — Zighy (SR:86, the field's highest rating) is proven at 6f (DistFit:+) under a top jockey booking in Billy Loughnane (19% career strike rate from 1,761 runners), and while the 27% drift is a concern, George Boughey's 18% strike rate means this yard doesn't run horses to lose — if the drift reflects a market overreaction to the layoff of 53 days rather than a genuine negative, Zighy's raw SR advantage could be decisive.
