Mr Fox says

Sondad (SR:106, 4/1) is the clear SR leader in a 26-runner field where the next best sits at SR:98, and that ability edge is backed by a striking 43% market move in — the strongest steamer in the field by a wide margin, signalling serious informed money. The visor headgear is a positive intervention on a horse whose form string of 019171 shows a lively recent win, and DistFit:+ confirms the 6f trip is well within his compass. The weight of 10-4 is the heaviest burden in the field, which is the chief concern, but in a sprint handicap on good ground the SR:106 advantage and the market confidence at 4/1 outweigh that penalty against a field of modest rivals. Each-way alternative: Bear On The Run. Main danger: Coul Angel — Coul Angel (SR:98, 5/1) has a light weight of 9-4, a 7% market move in, Tom Marquand booked, and although MarkMv:+11 is a concern the consistent 262623 form line suggests a horse running near its ceiling and ready to capitalise if Sondad's top-weight tells against him in the closing stages.
