Mr Fox says

Phoenix Moon (SR:68, 3/1, Wgt:9-8) combines the strongest multi-signal case in the field: GoingFit:+ confirms proven ability on today's good ground, Course:W2P3 shows genuine Lingfield AW specialist form (two wins, three places here), and the market has shortened 14% since opening — meaningful support in an 8-runner Class 6 contest. Running off the same mark as last win (MarkMv:=) removes the penalty concern, and Tom Marquand (13% career strike rate, 1,184 rides) is the standout jockey booking in the race. The class drop (↓1) further aids his chance against a modest field where the SR cluster sits tightly at 68-69. Each-way alternative: Horace Wallace. Main danger: Horace Wallace — Horace Wallace (SR:68, 9/2) has steamed in 20% in the market — the strongest move in the race — and the class drop (↓1) allied with a Fahey/Egan combination that clearly fancies their chances could see this 3-year-old overhaul Phoenix Moon, even though DistFit:- is a concern at this 6f1y trip.
