Mr Fox says

Kimeko Glory (SR:72, 5/1) is the standout on combined signals. The 15% market move in — the strongest steamer in this field — is significant given most rivals are drifting, indicating informed money. Charles Hills' yard with son James Hills booked is a classic connections confidence indicator. First-time blinkers often sharpen up a horse whose recent form (545043) shows consistent mid-field efforts without winning, and at Class 5 that can be the decisive nudge. Carrying 11-1 gives a reasonable weight position in a field where the joint-highest rated horse Darvel (SR:75) is drifting at 8%, and GoingFit:~ on Good to Firm is manageable rather than a dealbreaker. Each-way alternative: Darvel. Main danger: Darvel — Darvel (SR:75, the highest in the field) carries GoingFit:+ on today's Good to Firm — the best going record in the race — and at 9/2 holds the SR edge over all rivals, meaning if the blinkers don't transform Kimeko Glory, Darvel's superior ability and ground suitability make him the most natural winner.
