Mr Fox says

Glance of Glory (SR 103, 5/1, 11-9) is the most convincing multi-signal package in the field. DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm proven ability at today's trip and going bucket — the two most critical filters on a 2m3f good-ground hurdle. The market has shortened 14% since opening, suggesting informed money is finding reasons to back this horse despite a 170-day absence. Sean Bowen (24% career strike rate, 2341 runners) is a significant booking upgrade, and at 11-9 he carries a meaningful weight concession to the top two in the market. The form reads 114F8- which includes a fall and a poor run, but those outlier figures are explicable and the 114 sequence on the positive side is strong class-adjusted evidence. Each-way alternative: Norman Fletcher. Main danger: Phantom Gold — Phantom Gold (SR 115, 9/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin, has shortened 8% in the market, and arrives on the back of a winning run with form reading 6-4221 — three consecutive placed efforts culminating in a win, suggesting a horse peaking at the right time, and despite stepping up in class the SR advantage over the field is substantial.
