Mr Fox says

Perfect Hope leads the field on SR (72), a clear margin above the next best in Mick's The Boy (63) and Printing Money (62). Carrying just 9-6 — 3lb less than the joint top-weights — that SR advantage is not undermined by weight. The form string 69822 shows a clear trajectory of improvement, with consecutive placed efforts confirming the horse is hitting its peak. Billy Loughnane (18% career strike rate, 3007 runners — the strongest jockey booking in the race) is a significant positive signal, and the market has already moved in its favour at 13/8 from an opening price, suggesting informed confidence. The main risk is the absence of confirmed distance or going fitness (DistFit:? / GoingFit:?), which is true of most runners here and not a differentiating concern at this class level. Each-way alternative: Printing Money. Main danger: Printing Money — Printing Money (SR:62, 7/1) has steamed 18% in the market — the biggest move of any runner — carries a favourable 9-4, and Dylan Cunha's yard is represented by two runners with this being the likely number-one booking (Luke Morris preferred to Callum Shepherd on April's Luck), making the market move hard to ignore.
