Mr Fox says

Afraj (SR:83, 5/1) combines the second-highest SR in the field with a 13% market shortening — the clearest money signal in this race — and carries a favourable 9-0 into a Class 4 handicap. The Gosden/Buick combination (24%/20% strike rates respectively) is the most potent trainer-jockey pairing declared, and DistFit:+ confirms she handles this 7f trip. Her 1-334 form shows a winner followed by consistent placed efforts, suggesting she is a reliable performer running at a fair mark (ClassMv:=). The drift on Shushu (Mkt:out30%) and the market steaming into Afraj rather than the higher-SR Merry makes the case compelling. Each-way alternative: Merry. Main danger: Merry — Merry (SR:86, 7/2) is the highest-rated runner with Course:W1P2 at Kempton and DistFit:+, and despite a 9% trainer strike rate, the course specialist profile and top SR make her the most likely alternative winner.
