Mr Fox says

Royal County Glory (SR:73, 5/4) is the class leader in this field by a clear margin — 4 SR points above second-best Strong Voice and nearly 10 above the rest. The form string 315921 reads right-to-left as a last-time-out win, and the horse has course form (W1P2 at Lingfield), GoingFit:+ confirming affinity for today's good surface, and a market that has shortened 20% since opening — the money is firmly on. Weight of 9-6 is not burdensome for the highest SR in the field, and MarkMv:+2 (running off a mark just 2lb above the last win) is negligible. The 5/4 price reflects genuine confidence from connections rather than irrational favourite-backing. Each-way alternative: Strong Voice. Main danger: Strong Voice — Strong Voice (SR:69, 10/3) has steamed in 25% in the market — the most significant move in the field — carries GoingFit:+ on today's surface, and at SR:69 is the only other runner within realistic striking distance of Royal County Glory's SR:73.
