Mr Fox says

Miraculous (SR:80, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and brings the strongest alignment of signals: a course record of W1P1 at Southwell, confirmed distance fit (DistFit:+), a last-time-out second (form reads 357812 — rightmost is a 2, meaning placed last out), dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1), and market confidence shown by an 11% inward move. The 9-13 weight is manageable and compares favourably to Massimo Blue's lighter 9-4 despite Blue's step up in class. The SR-80 rating stands 5lb clear of the next-best Fenlander (SR:78) and 5lb clear of Massimo Blue (SR:75), and the course-and-distance form at Southwell is a concrete edge on an AW track where specialists regularly dominate. Each-way alternative: Massimo Blue. Main danger: Massimo Blue — Massimo Blue (SR:75, 11/4 favourite) has shortened 14% in the market, carries a light 9-4 with an excellent jockey booking in Billy Loughnane (19% career strike rate), and holds an outstanding course record of W2P2 at Southwell — that course specialisation is a genuine threat to Miraculous despite the step up in class (ClassMv:↑1) and a slightly inferior SR.
