Mr Fox says

Fr Gilligansvoyge (SR:82, 15/2) carries the lightest competitive weight at 10-11 and arrives on a red-hot form line of 421321 — six consecutive finishes in the frame or thereabouts, with three wins in the sequence. The GoingFit:+ confirms this horse handles good ground well, a key edge in a field where most rivals show GoingFit:- or unknown. Trainer John G Carr (7%) and jockey Patrick M O'Brien (9%) are modest but functional, and at 13 years old this horse is clearly in a rich vein of late-career form. The MarkMv:+6 is a minor concern but the weight advantage over the busier end of the field more than compensates. Each-way alternative: Our Zebo. Main danger: Broken Ice — Broken Ice (SR:86, 6/1) has steamed in 14% in the market — the strongest shortening in the field among credible runners — and carries only 11-9, giving it a meaningful weight edge over One Way Traffic and a plausible class advantage over most rivals despite the GoingFit:- flag.
