Mr Fox says

Sir Carnegie (SR:112, 3/1) arrives on the back of a last-time-out win (form reading 311651, rightmost = 1) with the market shortening 7% — the money is clearly on. Sean Bowen (23% career strike rate, 1,239 runners) is one of the most effective NH jockeys in Britain, a significant upgrade on most alternatives here. Carrying 11-9 he matches Glenmalure Flyer on weight but at a better odds-price and with more recent confidence, having run just 2 days ago suggesting connections are bullish about his well-being. Staying at the same class (ClassMv:=) and off the same mark as his last win (MarkMv:=) means no punitive handicap rise, and at 6 years old he is the youngest and most physically progressive horse in this field of veterans. Each-way alternative: Glenmalure Flyer. Main danger: Glenmalure Flyer — Glenmalure Flyer (SR:112, 13/8) is trained and ridden by the Skelton combination — arguably the most potent trainer-jockey pairing in British NH racing — and Harry Skelton's 27% strike rate means even a horse drifting 6% and stepping up in class must be respected as a serious threat.
