Mr Fox says

Ruby's Profit (SR:83, 2/1) is the clear ability leader in this field, sitting 4-8 points clear of the nearest rivals (Rogue Bullet SR:79, then a cluster at 71-76). Despite a moderate recent form string (046483), the mark has dropped 5lb since last win (MarkMv:-5), and crucially the market has shortened 14% — meaningful money arriving at a track where this horse has won once and placed twice (Course:W1P2). Tom Marquand retains the ride and is a proven big-race operator at Goodwood. The concerns are real — DistFit:- and GoingFit:- flag poor records at today's trip and going — but the 5lb drop in mark combined with strongest SR, course familiarity, and clear market confidence outweigh those negatives in a weak Class 4 field where the opposition has its own significant flaws. Each-way alternative: Silver Wraith. Main danger: Silver Wraith — Silver Wraith (SR:76, 11/2) has also shortened 14% in the market, holds place form at Goodwood (Course:W0P2), carries a favourable 9-7, and trainer Emma Lavelle runs at a solid 15% strike rate — the combination of market confidence, course familiarity, and lighter weight makes this the most credible threat to the selection.
