Mr Fox says

King Sharja (SR 69, 7/2) carries top weight at 9-12 but is the clear SR leader in a very weak Class 6 field, and his recent form 056211 — two consecutive wins — confirms he is in the form of his life. His Course:W1P5 record at Southwell is outstanding for an AW specialist track, and while GoingFit:~ and DistFit:~ are not ideal, his course familiarity more than compensates. The market has shortened 6% since opening, adding quiet confidence from connections, and trainer Ruth Carr (12% SR) has a solid record with in-form runners. The MarkMv:+5 is a minor concern but his SR lead of at least 1 point over the field's next-best (Starakova SR 68) and superior course record makes him the logical selection. Each-way alternative: Starakova. Main danger: Starakova — Starakova (SR 68, 9/2) has DistFit:+ at this trip — the only runner to show a proven win record at the distance — Course:W1P1 at Southwell, and jockey Billy Loughnane's 18% career strike rate is the strongest in the field, making her the most dangerous rival despite the 24% market drift.
