Mr Fox says

Dappled Light (SR 78, 11/4) is the clear class leader in this field by a meaningful margin — the next-best SR is Rosemary's Rose at 70, a full 8 points behind. The form string -71122 shows a progressive sequence with back-to-back runner-up finishes tightening into wins, and the drop in class (ClassMv:↓1) gives a further edge. Course form is excellent (W1P2 at Chepstow) and DistFit:+ confirms comfort over 7f. The weight of 9-9 is the joint-highest but is justified by the SR advantage, and Finley Marsh (12% career strike rate) is a capable booking at this level. Each-way alternative: Connie's Rose. Main danger: Rosemary's Rose — Rosemary's Rose (SR 70, 9/2) has GoingFit:+ on today's good ground, carries a favourable 9-3, and a MarkMv:+7 is the only concern — her consistent 562233 form at the same class level suggests she's knocking hard on the door and could convert at any point.
