Mr Fox says

Ellie's de Vega (SR 66, 7/2) is the clear class leader in this field, carrying a competitive 9-5 and boasting Course:W1P2 at Newcastle AW — a meaningful edge on a specialist track. Her form string 352261 shows a recent win (rightmost) and consistent placed efforts, confirming she arrives in peak order. Philip Kirby has deployed blinkers (HG:b) and booked Sean Dylan Bowen (11% strike rate, 1,103 runners — the stronger of the two Kirby jockey bookings), marking her as the yard's #1 from their two-runner entry. The 5% drift is modest and explainable given GoingFit:- on today's going, but her SR superiority of at least 8lb over the next-best (Solid Bond, SR 62) and proven course form outweigh that concern in a Class 6 five-furlong sprint. Each-way alternative: Solid Bond. Main danger: Solid Bond — Solid Bond (SR 62, 4/1) is the market's second choice, carries top-weight of 9-12 but a recent last-run win confirms live form, and despite the 7% drift and DistFit:- concern, his SR is the closest to Ellie's de Vega in the field and Declan Carroll operates at a solid 11% strike rate.
