Mr Fox says

Rovinia (SR:68, 5/4) is the standout on ability in this Class 6 field — the SR of 68 is comfortably clear of the next-best cluster at 55-58, and the recent form string 952221 shows a horse in progressive, consistent form with the rightmost digit a win. Carrying 9-7 is manageable for an SR leader of this magnitude, and Roger Teal's yard operates at 9% strike rate with 327 runners — a solid professional operation. The MarkMv:+3 means the mark has risen slightly since the last win, but in a Class 6 field of this quality that 3lb penalty is negligible given the SR gap. Owen Lewis (5lb claimer, 9% SR from 54 rides) preserves the weight advantage further, and the course placing (W0P1 at Chepstow) gives modest but relevant course familiarity. Each-way alternative: A Rose Adaay. Main danger: A Rose Adaay — A Rose Adaay (SR:55, 11/2) has steamed in 41% in the market, carries a light 9-0, holds three places at Chepstow (Course:W0P3) confirming course affinity, and the market confidence is the single strongest late signal in the race — something significant has prompted that move.
