Mr Fox says

Further Measure (SR:58, 4/1, Wgt:10-0) carries the joint-highest weight but has the best SR in the field and is the only runner with meaningful market confidence — a 27% inward move is a significant steaming signal in a Class 6 field of seven. The drop in class (↓1) suits a 9-year-old who knows his job, and Marco Ghiani (14% career strike rate, 925 runners) is a strong booking for this track. Despite the GoingFit:- flag, the market is clearly not deterred, and the form line 144756 shows consistent competitiveness — the 6 last time is the concern, but the blinkers added today (HG:p) signal connections are making a deliberate move to sharpen him up. Each-way alternative: Fabled Spirit. Main danger: Fabled Spirit — Fabled Spirit (SR:60, 15/8) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and carries the lightest weight among the older runners at 9-0, with a recent placed effort (2 last time) suggesting improving form — despite the market drift it remains the most capable horse on raw SR.
