Mr Fox says

Faiyum (SR:118, 3/1) is the highest-rated runner in the field by a clear margin and the market has hammered her in by 36% — the most significant move in the race — confirming strong professional support. Her form of 121-34 shows she has won at Group level before and the two modest finishes are at least partially explained by the 116-day layoff context and likely fitness peaks. At 9-7 she carries level weights with most rivals, giving no disadvantage, and the Lyons/Keane combination (15%/16% strike rates) is a high-quality booking. The only reservation is the unknown going and distance fit (both marked '?'), but at this level of SR dominance — 3 points clear of the next best Miss Scott — and with that exceptional market move, she has to be the selection. Each-way alternative: Miss Scott. Main danger: Miss Scott — Miss Scott (SR:115, 7/2) has shortened 15% in the market, holds DistFit:+ confirming suitability for 1m1f, is trained by the high-strike-rate Gosden yard (25%), and her form of 1-212 shows consistent placed form at this level — she is the likeliest horse to reverse the SR gap with Faiyum if today's going suits her better than anticipated.
