Mr Fox says

Korbut (SR:87, 11/4) is the second-highest rated horse in the field and carries a workable 9-10, giving it a 2lb advantage over the joint top-weights Come On Over and Acclaimed Freedom. Crucially, Korbut has confirmed DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ — the only runner in the field with both positive signals for today's 6f20y on good ground — and its MarkMv:= means it runs off the same mark as its last win, presenting no upward handicap pressure. The form string 222212 shows relentless consistency at this level; Sir Mark Prescott's 19% career strike rate is formidable and the yard rarely runs without purpose. The 17% market drift is the one concern, though on a Prescott horse trained to peak, market moves can reflect ante-post positioning rather than stable sentiment — the GoingFit/DistFit combination here is simply the clearest physical fit in the race. Each-way alternative: Flash Rascal. Main danger: Come On Over — Come On Over (SR:90, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field, has shortened 6% in the market, and drops a class — its GoingFit:- is the key concern, but if the Wolverhampton surface rides closer to standard AW than the going label implies, the SR lead and ClassMv:↓1 advantage could prove decisive over Korbut.
