Mr Fox says

So Grateful leads this field with an SR of 67 — a clear gap above the next best (Wee Mary at 58) — and is the only runner showing meaningful market support, shortening 13% to 2/1. The form string 904222 shows consistent placing at this class level, and a mark drop of 6lb since last win is a tangible handicap advantage. While GoingFit:- and DistFit:- are genuine concerns on today's good ground over 5f, the class edge and market confidence override those reservations in a weak Class 6 field where the opposition is broadly unconvincing. Each-way alternative: Wee Mary. Main danger: Wee Mary — Wee Mary (SR:58, 10/3) holds a Course:W1P2 record at Musselburgh — the only course specialist in the field — and while the 9% drift and DistFit:- are negatives, Jim Goldie's 13% strike rate and Paul Mulrennan's experience give her every chance of finding a place or better on her favoured track.
