Mr Fox says

Gone In Sixty (SR:84, 10/3) is the most compelling case once weight and market movement are factored in. Carrying just 10-6 — a massive 22lb less than the top-weights Huckleberry Sting and Premier Fantasy — that lbs advantage over horses rated only marginally higher is decisive in a Class 5 handicap chase. The market has moved in 19% since opening, a meaningful steamer indicating informed money is arriving, and Alex Hales's 10% stable strike rate with a consistent recent form line of 4F2434 shows a horse regularly running competitively. The F in that sequence came mid-run but the horse has returned and placed multiple times since, suggesting soundness is not a concern. GoingFit:~ on today's good ground is acceptable rather than ideal, but the weight pull and market confidence outweigh that moderate going record. Each-way alternative: Watchoutitscookie. Main danger: Huckleberry Sting — Huckleberry Sting (SR:95, 5/2) holds the highest ability rating in the field and has a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground with a recent win in its form (last-run 1 in -23121), so if it handles the top-weight burden of 12-0 it is the most talented individual.
