Mr Fox says

Faiyum (SR 116, 15/8) is the clear class leader in this field by a significant margin — 8 SR points clear of the next-best Caught U Sleeping (SR 108) and 10 clear of Sindria (SR 106). Crucially, Faiyum is confirmed at this trip (DistFit:+) and on this going (GoingFit:+), while both main market rivals Sindria and Caught U Sleeping carry GoingFit:- and a drift concern respectively. Faiyum has a Course:W1P1 record at Gowran Park, adding specialist track knowledge, and the Lyons yard runs at a solid 16% strike rate. The form line 21-342 shows consistent competitiveness at this level with no deterioration, and at 15/8 the market is correctly pricing a horse whose superiority across SR, going, distance, and course form is multi-dimensional. Each-way alternative: Sindria. Main danger: Sindria — Sindria (SR 106, 4/1) has steamed in 33% since opening, holds Course:W2P2 at Gowran Park — the strongest course record in the field — and is clearly the JP O'Brien yard's #1 runner; the going concern (GoingFit:-) is the only caveat, and if the ground rides more genuinely good than expected, that flag softens considerably.
