Mr Fox says

Boilermaker (SR 84, 9/4) is the clear SR leader in this field by a margin — SR 84 versus SR 73 for The Craftymaster and SR 72 for Belle Of Kt — and arrives on the back of a sharp 1-2-3-2-1-1 form string, showing consistent progression into a last-time winner. At only 3 years old stepping up to 1m6f, the distance is unproven (DistFit:?) but the trend of his form through middle distances suggests stamina is not an issue, and trainer Harry Charlton operates at a 16% strike rate — the strongest in this field — with Luke Morris booked. Carrying a favourable 9-3 versus the heavier burdens on Taritino (9-12) and Belle Of Kt (9-7), the weight advantage compounds his SR superiority. The class rise of three tiers (ClassMv:↑3) is the one genuine concern, though his SR dwarfs the rest of the field and the going (Good, GoingFit:+) directly suits him. Each-way alternative: Belle Of Kt. Main danger: Belle Of Kt — Belle Of Kt (SR 72, 7/2) carries confirmed course-and-distance form (W1P1, DistFit:+, GoingFit:+), is the market's second choice at 7/2, and arrives on a red-hot 3-1-1-1-1-3 form sequence — four wins from her last five completed starts — meaning if the class rise (↑4) doesn't blunt her, she has the course-and-distance credentials to overhaul Boilermaker.
