Mr Fox says

Q T Boy (SR:64, 13/8) is the clear SR leader in this Class 6 nursery and has steamed in 19% since opening, the most significant market move in the field — money is talking in a race where market intelligence matters. His form string 0742 shows a recent second which, combined with a flat weight of 9-4 and David Evans at 13% strike rate with Marco Ghiani (16%, 1,635 career runs) in the saddle, points to a well-prepared, well-supported horse. The 6lb SR edge over Magical Life is the largest ability gap between any two contenders, and running off the same class mark as his last run removes any step-up concern. Each-way alternative: Magical Life. Main danger: Magical Life — Magical Life (SR:66, 9/2) actually edges Q T Boy on raw SR and has a proven distance profile (DistFit:~), with a recent third from a six-race form sequence showing consistent involvement — the GoingFit:- and a 7lb rise from last win are the only real deterrents.
