Mr Fox says

New Oxford (SR 154, 9/4) is second only to Burningringoffire in the SR rankings but carries a critical market advantage: a 24% inward move from opening prices signals genuine confidence from those closest to the horse, while Burningringoffire (SR 150, 10/3) has drifted 7% out. Harry Charlton's yard operates at a solid 16% strike rate and Lewis Edmunds has a decent book of 1,839 career rides, suggesting a trusted stable-jockey partnership. New Oxford ran a fourth last time out at Class 3, confirming he handles this level, and the market move is the decisive differentiator over the joint-favourite whose drift is a clear negative signal. Waaqed (SR 152) is the primary danger — Gosden operation at 24% strike rate is the standout yard in the field and a second on debut is excellent juvenile form — but the neutral market movement on Waaqed versus the strong inward money on New Oxford tips the scales. Each-way alternative: Waaqed. Main danger: Waaqed — Waaqed (SR 152, 10/3) is trained by the Gosdens at a field-topping 24% strike rate, ran a solid second on debut, and sits just 2 SR points below New Oxford — any further market tightening would make this the play.
