Mr Fox says

Blue Force (SR:78, 7/2, 9-8) combines the joint-highest SR in the field with a standout course record of W2P3 at Wolverhampton — the only runner with a proven winning profile at this track. The market has backed this strongly, steaming in 36% since opening, while recent form 563691 shows a last-time-out win confirming current peak fitness. Running off a mark 5lb above last win (MarkMv:+5) is the one concern, but the GoingFit:~ and DistFit:~ are manageable given the course specialist advantage, and 9-8 is a light enough weight that the penalty is not prohibitive. Each-way alternative: Midnight Call. Main danger: The Flying Seagull — The Flying Seagull (SR:78, 7/2) has steamed in a remarkable 60% in the market — the strongest move in the field — suggesting significant stable confidence, and despite DistFit:- and GoingFit:-, that level of market support at a joint-best SR demands respect.
