Mr Fox says

Thanos (SR 84, 11/2) is the clear SR leader in this field by a margin of 4 points over Revelance, and crucially carries a very lenient 8-9 — 15lb less than top-weight Revelance (9-12) despite being the most able horse in the race. The form line 2-2113 shows consistent progression culminating in back-to-back wins, and Harry Charlton's yard operates at 17% strike rate across 241 runners — one of the sharpest in this field. Market support has come in 13% since opening, suggesting stable confidence despite a 94-day break, and the Course:W1P1 record confirms he handles Chepstow. The ClassMv:↑4 is the one concern, but the weight pull over every rival and superior SR make this step up in class manageable. Each-way alternative: Spirit Of The Bay. Main danger: Spirit Of The Bay — Spirit Of The Bay (SR 73, 10/1, Mkt:in20%) is an eight-year-old Chepstow specialist with Course:W2P4 — the best course record in the field — has steamed in 20% in the market, and carries a featherweight 8-9 off a mark only 4lb above last win, giving it every chance to exploit its track familiarity.
