5TH

Mr Fox says

Fleur de Mer (SR:72, 7/2) combines the strongest alignment of signals in this field. Her DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm she is proven at today's trip and on good ground — a critical edge in a race where every other prominent contender carries GoingFit:- on today's surface. She has steamed in 21% in the market, the biggest positive move in the field, suggesting informed confidence. Carrying 10-10 she is 7lb lighter than top-weight Zimmerman, a meaningful advantage, and jockey Mr Eireann Cagney posts a 21% career strike rate from 33 rides — comfortably the strongest riding record in this amateur contest. Her form 236432 shows consistent placing at this level and ClassMv:= means she is not facing a class-rise surprise. Each-way alternative: Star Start. Main danger: Zimmerman — Zimmerman (SR:79, 11/10) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has steamed in 11% in the market, carrying recent form 623611 including a last-time-out win just 4 days ago, though GoingFit:- and the burden of 11-3 top-weight on good ground are genuine concerns that temper confidence.
