Mr Fox says

Lazurite (SR:97, 3/1) is the joint-highest rated runner and is the Richard Hughes yard's #1 — William Buick booked over stablemate Harry Knows who gets Ryan Moore but is drifting 27% to 13/2. Lazurite has won on its most recent run (form 271, rightmost = 1), carries a light 9-4 — 5lb less than Harry Knows and 7lb less than Napa — and has market support (Mkt:in8%) confirming stable confidence despite stepping up in class. The DistFit:+ at this 5f trip and course place (Course:W0P1) on a track that rewards progressive juveniles adds further substance to the case. Each-way alternative: Black Velvet Boy. Main danger: Black Velvet Boy — Black Velvet Boy (SR:97, 9/2) matches Lazurite on SR, has been steaming in 23% to 9/2 with Oisin Murphy aboard, and carries a DistFit:+ at 5f — the recent 1-1-2 sequence in his form (73112, rightmost = 2) shows genuine progressive form at this level.
