Mr Fox says

Forever Glamorous (SR:67, 7/4) carries the highest SR in the field and steps down one class — a tangible advantage in a Class 6 sprint. DistFit:+ confirms genuine 5f ability, GoingFit:~ is acceptable on today's good ground, and crucially the market has steamed in 11% since opening, reinforcing confidence in the yard's intentions. Christopher Mason's 19% trainer strike rate with only 116 runners is an impressive conversion rate, and the form string of -23513 shows consistent front-half finishes at higher levels — the drop to Class 6 here looks deliberate and well-timed. Course:W1P3 at Ffos Las adds further course familiarity. Each-way alternative: Little Jaybee. Main danger: Little Jaybee — Little Jaybee (SR:66, 10/3) is only 1 SR point below the selection, has steamed in 13% in the market suggesting stable confidence, ran just 16 days ago so is race-fit, and David Evans' 12% strike rate with a course placing on record gives it every chance of being the value alternative.
