Mr Fox says

Malinas Glory (SR 94, 6/4) is the class standout in this field by a clear margin — 15 SR points clear of the next-best Culligran (SR 79) and 24 points above Bravethewaves (SR 72). The form string /211-D shows two recent wins before a disqualification, indicating peak-form ability that towers over this Class 5 contest. Course form of W1P1 at Warwick is a genuine positive, the yard (Alastair Ralph, 12%) is competent for this level, and jockey Toby McCain-Mitchell's 16% strike rate on 127 rides is strong for a conditional. The DistFit:- flag is a real concern — the horse is unproven or poor over today's 2m4f — but the class advantage is so pronounced that it remains the most credible winning vehicle in the field despite the odds-on-ish price. Each-way alternative: Culligran. Main danger: Ballinoulart — Ballinoulart (SR 70, 8/1) has shortened 13% in the market, carries a light 10-2, and the consistent form string 4325P3 shows regular competitiveness — the market money cannot be ignored and a clear round could see this one grab a place at the expense of the favourite.
