Mr Fox says

Shes Got The Blues (SR:68, 9/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin — 11 points clear of the next best — and her form string of 411331 shows she has been consistently competitive at this level, with recent wins confirming she is in the thick of a good run. Carrying 9-11 is the heaviest weight in the field but her SR advantage more than offsets the lbs burden in a Class 6 mile handicap where the going and distance fit are moderate but not prohibitive. Tony Carroll (13% strike rate from over 3,000 runners) is a reliable handler of this type, and jockey Rose Dawes retains the 5lb claim which effectively neutralises the weight. The market has her joint-favourite at 9/2 with no drift signal, consistent with quiet confidence from connections. Each-way alternative: Arvana Belle. Main danger: Nammos — Nammos has steamed in 27% in the market, holds course form (W1P2 at Bath), and is the yard's designated number one runner for the Flint yard — if the money is right, the course familiarity could be decisive even if the SR of 54 lags behind the selection.
