Mr Fox says

Weleyff (SR:90, 4/1) combines the joint-highest SR in the field with a dramatic market move — in 26% since opening — suggesting informed money is firmly behind this selection. The form string 3110 reads right-to-left as a last-time-out win, backed by two prior wins in the sequence, and a class drop of two tiers means he arrives in a more comfortable environment than his last competitive assignments. William Buick (25% career strike rate, 1473 runners) is an elite booking that adds further confidence, and DistFit:+ confirms proven ability over 7f. The weight of 9-9 is manageable at this class level given the SR advantage. Each-way alternative: Jumeirah Storm. Main danger: Jumeirah Storm — Jumeirah Storm (SR:91 — fractionally the highest in the field, 11/2, Mkt:in15%) carries the top SR, is also dropping two class tiers, and the market has shortened 15% — with Hector Crouch (18% strike rate) booked, this horse has every right to reverse the SR deficit with Weleyff if the cheekpieces (HG:p) sharpen the response.
