Mr Fox says

Duel Au Soleil (SR:115, 15/8) carries 11-6 — the joint-lightest competitive weight in the field — and has steamed in 27% in the market, the most significant move of any runner, indicating strong stable confidence backed by the Ben Pauling/Ben Jones combination running at 19% strike rates each. The four-star AI probability rating is the best in the field, and GoingFit:+ confirms the horse handles today's good ground. While MarkMv:+8 is a concern — running off a mark 8lb above last win — the weight advantage over top-weight Country Park (12-0) and the compelling market move override that reservation in a thin five-runner field. Each-way alternative: Jiair Madrik. Main danger: Country Park — Country Park (SR:116, 11/4) holds the joint-highest SR in the field, carries Course:W1P1 form at Bangor-on-Dee which is a genuine track-specialist advantage, and GoingFit:+ confirms comfort on today's going — despite the drift of 9% and the burden of top-weight 12-0, the course form on this tight track could prove decisive.
