Mr Fox says

Crafty Gael (SR:87, 2/1) is the class leader in this field by a clear margin and is trained by Olly Murphy (24% strike rate, 1,781 runners — one of the strongest yards in the data) with Sean Bowen aboard (24% strike rate, 2,338 runners — a top-tier booking that confirms this is the yard's serious runner). The form string 008-32 shows consistent improvement into a placed effort last time, and at 11-10 the weight is manageable. The market has priced this horse firmly at the head of affairs, and the connections combination of Murphy/Bowen at a 24%/24% dual-strike rate is the strongest pairing in the race by distance. Each-way alternative: French Diablo. Main danger: Forest Spirit — Forest Spirit (SR:82, 4/1) has steamed in 17% in the market — the biggest mover in the field — carries the lightest competitive weight at 11-0, has course form (W0P1), and James Bowen's 20% strike rate for the Bowen yard makes this a live market mover that could outrun the going concern (GoingFit:-).
