Mr Fox says

Sovereign View (SR:86, 10/3) is the highest-rated horse in the field and carries a light 9-10, giving it a meaningful weight advantage over joint-topweights Galyx and Sharp Move (both 10-2). Crucially, it has a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground, has been shortening in the market (Mkt:in10%), and James Tate (17% strike rate, 408 runners) with Rossa Ryan (16%, 1453 runners) is a powerful booking for a Class 4 handicap. The form string 26343 shows consistent competitiveness and the +4 mark move is modest for a 3-year-old still on the upgrade. The three-star AI probability score and market confidence together corroborate the data-driven case. Each-way alternative: Galyx. Main danger: Galyx — Galyx (SR:83, 3/1) has steamed 13% in the market, is dropping a class, and despite the GoingFit:- is currently the market's second-choice — that late money on a top-weight needs explaining, and a horse with genuine ability stepping into easier company is always a threat.
