Mr Fox says

Lady Kodiac (SR:87) is the clear class standout in this modest field — a 10-13 point SR edge over the second-best runners (Ormolulu SR:76, Anaisa SR:73) is substantial at Class 4 level over 6f on AW. She drops a class (ClassMv:↓1) which further boosts her prospects, and crucially she is proven at both this trip (DistFit:+) and this going (GoingFit:+) — two signals that frequently separate winners from also-rans. James Tate (17% strike rate, 416 runners) is a quality handler and the 5/2 market reflects genuine confidence. The form string shows a 2 last time out over similar conditions, confirming she retains ability; a 50-day break is not a concern given the trainer's record. Each-way alternative: Ormolulu. Main danger: Ormolulu — Ormolulu (SR:76, 3/1) has steamed in 16% in the market, carries a favourable 9-3 versus Lady Kodiac's 9-12 — a 9lb weight advantage that on a flat AW straight is meaningful — and the market confidence suggests connections and punters believe the form figures understate current ability.
