Mr Fox says

Victory Gold (SR 104, 3/1, 9-11) is the standout on ability — the highest SR in the field by a clear margin of 14 points over the next best — and the market has dramatically confirmed this with a 37% inward move, the strongest steam in the race by far. The form string 24012 shows a win last time out at this same class level, and DistFit:+ confirms he handles the 7f trip. Saeed bin Suroor (21% strike rate) with Oisin Murphy (21%, 1,366 career runners) is a powerful pairing who do not take their time bringing a two-year-old to market unless ready. The 2lb mark rise (MarkMv:+2) after the last win is a minimal penalty and no obstacle at 9-11. Each-way alternative: Sanbona Warrior. Main danger: Sanbona Warrior — Sanbona Warrior (SR 90, 8/1, 9-1) has steamed in 32%, carries the lightest weight in the field at a 10lb advantage over Victory Gold, has DistFit:+ at 7f, and the application of a hood (HG:p) suggests connections have found a gear — the combination of market confidence, low weight, and stable targeting makes him the clearest threat.
