Mr Fox says

Eagle Fang (SR 96, 5/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin — 5 points above the next cluster of SR 91 runners — and carries only 9-10, giving him a meaningful weight advantage over any SR peer. His GoingFit:+ confirms he handles today's good ground, and a Mkt:in9% move shows money coming for him with no obvious public reason to steam, which adds credibility. The visor (HG:v) is a positive intervention signal suggesting connections are expecting improvement, and trainer William Durkan's 14% strike rate with a modest but respectable sample (125 runners) is solid. The DistFit:? is a mild concern over 1m6f80y, but the form figure of '4' last time out (beaten third-to-last run, placed) and a steady recent profile (3/214) indicates a consistent, progressing horse rather than a flashy one-run wonder. Each-way alternative: Sir Jeremy. Main danger: Immutable — Immutable (SR 86, 11/2) is the joint second-shortest price in the race, carries only 9-4 (lightest of the serious contenders), and recent form of 35-922 shows consistent placing — two seconds last two runs — suggesting a horse right at the top of its form curve that could finally convert.
