Mr Fox says

Wild Clary (SR 85, 13/2) is the highest-rated horse proven at today's distance (DistFit:+), dropping two class tiers from her most recent run — a significant advantage in a Class 4 handicap — and her form-string of -42314 shows a win last time out, making her the most in-form runner with a confirmed ability at 6f. At 9-12 she carries a reasonable weight given the SR advantage over the field, and Clifford Lee has a solid 15% career strike rate on 386 runners, giving her a quality pilot. The +5 mark rise is a consideration but is offset by the class drop which more than compensates. With the best SR, proven distance form, and a clear class relief, she represents the most complete package in a wide-open field. Each-way alternative: Woven. Main danger: Kodi Lion — Kodi Lion (SR 81, 10/3) has steamed in 34% in the market and drops two class tiers, with Cieren Fallon (19% strike rate) booked — the market clearly knows something about this horse despite a patchy recent form string.
