Mr Fox says

C'Mon So (SR:91, 7/2) carries just 10-2 — the joint-lightest weight in the field — giving it a significant 1st-8lb pull against rivals of similar or lower SR. The market has shortened 23% from opening, suggesting informed money is moving in, and at 5 years old it is the youngest runner in a field of ageing animals (average age 9-10), offering the most residual upside. DistFit:? and GoingFit:? reflect an unproven profile over trip and going rather than a negative record, and at this distance stepping up brings an open question rather than a confirmed weakness. Dalileo (SR:91, Course:W2P3, DistFit:+, GoingFit:+) is the most credible threat and shares the top SR, but the jockey's 0% strike rate from 38 rides is a serious concern and the market has drifted 62% — clear avoidance by the money. Each-way alternative: Sauce Of Life. Main danger: Dalileo — Dalileo holds Course:W2P3, DistFit:+, GoingFit:+ — the strongest course-and-conditions profile in the field — and if Peter Kavanagh's poor recent record is a blip rather than a pattern, those proven course credentials at SR:91 make it the most dangerous rival.
