Mr Fox says

Crackergee (SR:78, 7/4) is the SR leader in this Class 5 field and carries the same weight as top-rated Robusto despite a 5-point SR deficit — a clean weight relationship. The 18% market inward move is the strongest Mkt:in signal in the field and represents meaningful confidence from connections and informed money. Course:W1P1 at Ffos Las is a direct course advantage over most rivals, and a ClassMv:= confirms no class-rise penalty. The return from 46 days is the only note of caution, but DistFit:? at this trip simply means insufficient sample rather than proven failure, and the trainer Hughie Morrison (10% strike rate, 160 runners) has the depth to know this horse stays. Each-way alternative: Flightofthephoenix. Main danger: Robusto — Robusto (SR:83) is the highest-rated horse in the field, won last time out (Form:015831), has a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground, and carries only 1lb more than Crackergee despite a 5-point SR advantage — the drift of 7% is modest and may simply reflect blinkers applied first time, which can as easily spark improvement.
