Mr Fox says

Knights Gold (SR:87, 9/4) carries 9-9 — a 2lb edge over Sea Suite and sits second in SR while attracting the most decisive market move in the field (in 11%). Billy Loughnane's 19% career strike rate is the strongest jockey booking on the card by a clear margin. The DistFit:+ at today's trip is a concrete advantage, and the MarkMv:-1 means connections are running off a fractionally easier mark than last win. The GoingFit:- is the principal concern, but good ground at Brighton sits at the firmer end of the spectrum and may prove borderline acceptable. Each-way alternative: Foreseen. Main danger: Sea Suite — Sea Suite (SR:89, highest in the field) has course form (W1P1), a recent winning run in the Form:417221 sequence, and James Owen's yard is respectable at 17% — the 17% market drift is concerning but the raw SR advantage and course familiarity make this the most credible threat.
