Mr Fox says

Woodhay Wayfarer (SR:79, 9/4) arrives off the back of a decisive win (form 8551 — rightmost digit 1) at the same class level (ClassMv:=) and carries just 9-8, a 3lb advantage over top-weight Forest Berry. Crucially, DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at this mile trip, and the market has shortened 8% since opening — meaningful confidence in a field where several rivals are drifting. Trainer Tom Ward's 7% strike rate is modest but jockey Billy Loughnane at 19% from 1,841 rides is a high-quality booking who clearly fancies the chance, and the combination of a course-appropriate trip, a recent win, and steady market support makes this the most coherent case in the field. Each-way alternative: Greek Symphony. Main danger: Greek Symphony — Greek Symphony (SR:86, 5/1) has consistent recent form (32133) at the same class level, DistFit:+ at the mile, and carries only 9-7 — 4lb less than Woodhay Wayfarer's top-weight rival and just 1lb more than the selection, making her a genuine price each-way threat despite the 13% drift.
