Mr Fox says

Fast Track Harry (SR:94, 11/2, 9-9) is the Clive Cox yard's #1 runner — Cox has deployed the more experienced Callum Shepherd booking here while Probert rides the drifting stablemate Diligently, confirming stable intent. GoingFit:+ on today's Good ground is a key edge in a field where several rivals (Diligently, Havana Blue, Saint Lawrence) are marked GoingFit:-, and the MarkMv:-1 means he runs off a mark 1lb below his last winning mark — a marginal but genuine favour. Carrying 9-9 with the lightest topline burden among the SR-94 cluster (Ferrous 10-0, Garfield Shadow 9-12) gives him a real pounds advantage over rivals of equal ability. The Ascot course form (W0P1) confirms he handles the track, and a 21-day turnaround suggests he is fit and ready. Each-way alternative: Sword. Main danger: Sword — Sword (SR:92, 11/2, 8-13) carries the lightest weight in the field with a significant Mkt:in25% steam, GoingFit:+ on today's going, and Silvestre De Sousa's booking adds confidence to a horse stepping up two classes — the money appears to know something about this sharp market move.
