Mr Fox says

Pierian (SR 97, 2/1) is the class standout in this field by a clear margin — 7 SR points above the next best (Asset at 90) and 12 above Mythical Bird and Aravalli at 85. The drop in class (ClassMv:↓1) from William Haggas's yard is a positive, and the 10% market inward move signals informed money following this horse down in grade. The form string '21140' shows a win and a second from the last three runs before the latest '0', which at Class 4 off 9-12 weight still leaves room to exploit connections' tactical nous. Haggas (21% strike rate, 1123 runners) with Marquand (13%, 1189 runners) is a formidable booking combination, and the class drop from a top stable is the single most compelling signal in this race. Each-way alternative: Asset. Main danger: Mythical Bird — Mythical Bird (SR 85, 4/1) has shortened 6% in the market, carries a light 9-10, and the form string '130031' shows a last-time-out win — if that recent winning form translates at this trip, she is the most likely to cause an upset.
