Mr Fox says

Hugo's Girl holds the highest SR in the field at 72, carrying 9-13 which is a manageable weight in a 31-runner sprint handicap. W J Lee is a 14%-strike-rate booking in a field full of apprentices and low-percentage jockeys, a significant edge in a competitive cavalry charge. The market has drifted 11% (Mkt:out11%), but the drift is best explained by the DistFit:- and GoingFit:- flags rather than any fundamental doubt about ability — in a field where virtually every runner shares those weaknesses, the SR superiority and jockey quality override the concern. Mint Man (SR:70, Mkt:in5%) is the clearest danger, last-time-out winner off +6lb but with a 2%-strike-rate trainer and a 5%-jockey, making connections a clear negative contrast. Each-way alternative: Poweracclaim. Main danger: Mint Man — Mint Man (SR:70, 13/2, Mkt:in5%) is a last-time-out winner who the market is quietly backing, and while the +6lb mark rise and low-percentage connections are concerns, the SR is second only to Hugo's Girl and the gentle steam suggests informed support.
