Mr Fox says

Dark Side Thunder (SR:77, 4/1) carries the lightest weight in the field at 8-13, a meaningful advantage in a competitive Class 4 sprint handicap. The horse boasts an outstanding course record of W1P8 at Yarmouth — a specialist track — and confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good-to-soft ground, two signals that are rare in this field. The market has shortened 21% since opening, indicating informed confidence despite a two-class rise (ClassMv:↑2), and the drop of 5lb below last win mark (MarkMv:-5) suggests the handicapper has given connections an opening. The form string 925382 shows consistent competitiveness and the 2 last time out is encouraging after a mid-season lull. Each-way alternative: Massimo Blue. Main danger: Massimo Blue — Massimo Blue (SR:85, 9/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin, carries a favourable weight of 9-5, and arrives on the back of a 553311 form string showing strong recent improvement, with stable jockey Billy Loughnane (18% career strike rate) the obvious yard number-one booking ahead of stablemate King of Chaos.
