Mr Fox says

Eternal Angel (SR:130, 5/2) carries the highest SR in the field at a manageable 11-4, and the market has spoken loudly with a 37% inward move — the strongest steam in this race by some margin. The form string -12132 shows consistent competitiveness at this class level, and confirmed DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ on today's good ground over 1m7f195y removes any trip or surface doubt. Yes, it steps up one class tier (ClassMv:↑1) and runs off a mark 5lb higher than its last win, but the weight carried is lighter than Edelak's 12-0 and the SR edge of 4lb over the top-weight makes this a genuine case where the market confidence is backed by hard data rather than sentiment. Each-way alternative: Nap Hand. Main danger: Mojito des Mottes — Mojito des Mottes (SR:122, 7/4) has steamed 16% in the market with Harry Cobden booked, showed a last-time-out win under the tongue-tie, and handles today's going — Ben Pauling's yard knows this horse is ready despite the class rise.
