Mr Fox says

Bigalo (SR:80, 3/1, 9-4) shares the top SR in the field with Wondervision but carries 5lb less, a meaningful weight edge in a juvenile 6f handicap on good to firm. The 46% market move in (steaming from a significantly wider opening price) is the strongest market signal in the race and suggests connections are confident. Course form of W0P2 at Redcar confirms course familiarity, and DistFit:+ verifies he handles this trip. Roger Fell's yard runs at 12% and Joanna Mason books at 12% — solid if unspectacular — but the combination of top SR, lightest weight among the two SR leaders, course form, and aggressive market support makes Bigalo the standout. Each-way alternative: Wondervision. Main danger: Wondervision — Wondervision (SR:80, 3/1, 9-9) matches Bigalo on SR, has steamed in 43% in the market, and drops three class levels — serious market confidence in a horse arriving fresh (13 days) that may simply be too good for this grade despite the 5lb weight disadvantage.
