Mr Fox says

Newfangled (SR 75, 5/1) is dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) off a mark 2lb lower than last win (MarkMv:-2), carries a workable 9-11, and boasts outstanding course form — W1P5 at Windsor is the best course record in the field by a clear margin. The GoingFit:+ on today's good ground is the decisive edge over the two joint-SR leaders (Marsh Benham and Mertoun both show GoingFit:-/+), and the 44% market move in signals sharp stable confidence from Jonathan Portman's yard. The combination of class relief, course specialisation, positive going match, and aggressive market support is the strongest multi-signal alignment in the race. Each-way alternative: Mertoun. Main danger: Mertoun — Mertoun (SR 81 — joint highest in the field, 6/1) has tightened 25% in the market, carries a featherweight 9-6, shows GoingFit:+ and Course:W1P2 at Windsor, and his last-three figures of '144' represent the sharpest recent winning form among genuine contenders.
