Mr Fox says

Oj Lifestyle (SR 80, 9/4) is the clear class leader in this field — at SR 80 it sits well above the next best Tronido (SR 69) and the rest cluster between SR 47-67. The market has tightened 11% since opening, confirming punter confidence, and the Moore stable combination of Gary & Josh with son Toby in the saddle is a yard operating at 11% strike rate. The 9-9 weight is not punitive at this class level, and two places at Epsom shows course familiarity on this specialist track. The GoingFit:- is the key concern — good to soft is not ideal on record — but the SR superiority and market steam outweigh this in a weak Class 5 field. Each-way alternative: Tronido. Main danger: Tronido — Tronido (SR 69, 3/1) has a course win and place on his CV (Course:W1P1) and his last run produced a '1' finish — although the 30% market drift is a serious concern that needs explaining, his course form and last-time-out win make him the most credible threat if Oj Lifestyle's going issues materialise.
