Mr Fox says

Ghasham holds the most coherent recent form in this weak Class 5 field: a form string of 2213V3 shows consistent competitiveness, a drop of one class (ClassMv:↓1) gives him an edge, and the market has shortened 9% confirming quiet support. At SR:79 he is not the highest-rated horse — Judicial Review leads on SR:82 — but Ghasham carries 12-0 versus Judicial Review's 10-7, which is a substantial weight burden. However, Judicial Review's connections concerns (Callum Bewley at just 3% strike rate from 37 rides) and the fact he ran only 2 days ago raise freshness doubts, whereas Ghasham ran 16 days ago and drops in class. The trainer Sam England (15%) and jockey Jonathan England (19%) represent a competent combination, and the going fitness is moderate (GoingFit:~) rather than a negative. Each-way alternative: Getaway Jewel. Main danger: Judicial Review — Judicial Review holds the field's highest SR at 82, carries a featherweight 10-7, and has been backed in 19% since opening — the market money on the Moffatt yard #1 is not to be ignored despite the very short turnaround of 2 days and a weak jockey booking.
