🏆 WON

Mr Fox says

Hot And Cold (SR 95, 7/2) is the clear class-leader in this field — the highest SR by 10 points — and carries a workable 9-10. Form string 1-1251 shows two wins across different seasons with a recent fifth and a last-time-out win that confirms current peak form. Crucially, DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm proven ability at today's exact trip and going conditions, and Course:W1P1 at Southwell adds a specialist-track edge. The 11% market drift is a concern worth noting — but Sir Mark Prescott's 19% yard strike rate on 699 runners and Luke Morris's consistent booking suggest this is connections' intended target, and the SR advantage over the field is simply too large to dismiss. Each-way alternative: Winston's Warrior. Main danger: Winston's Warrior — Winston's Warrior (SR 85, 4/1) has been heavily backed — steaming in 27% from opening — carries a light 9-9, holds Course:W1P1 at Southwell, and DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at the mile trip, making it the most likely horse to exploit any complacency from the favourite.
