Mr Fox says

Rizal (SR:92, 8/15) is the class leader in a small four-runner field with a recent form line of 26-311 — three consecutive wins culminating in a last-time-out victory just 35 days ago. The market has shortened 11% since opening, confirming stable confidence, and Billy Loughnane (19% career strike rate) aboard a George Scott-trained improver is a strong booking. While MarkMv:+5 means he runs off a 5lb higher mark, his SR of 92 is a clear 2-10lb edge over every rival, and at 10-3 he still carries a manageable weight for this class. The unknowns on distance and going (both flagged as '?') are the only caveats, but his class advantage in a field of four overrides them. Each-way alternative: Parisian Scholar. Main danger: Parisian Scholar — Parisian Scholar (SR:90) drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), handles this going well (GoingFit:+), and carries the lightest weight of the older competitors at 9-6, giving him a real pounds advantage if Rizal's unproven trip and going combination catches up with him.
