Mr Fox says

Huckleberry Sting (SR 90, 4/1) is the clear ability leader in this field and holds decisive course-and-distance credentials: Course:W2P2 plus DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm he handles Market Rasen on good ground over this trip as well as anyone here. His form string 231214 shows consistent competitiveness at this class level, and at 12-0 he is the top-weight but his SR edge of 1-12 points over the nearest rivals (Galway Reel SR 89, Hardy Buck SR 72) is meaningful enough to absorb that burden. Tom Ellis fires at 14% with a small but respectable yard, and while the +6 mark move is worth noting, the course-specialist status and proven fitness (21 days since last run, tongue-tie retained) outweigh that concern in a field where no rival combines SR, course form, distance fit, and going fit simultaneously. Each-way alternative: Galway Reel. Main danger: Galway Reel — Galway Reel (SR 89, 6/4) is trained by Olly Murphy (24% strike rate, 1793 runners) and ridden by Sean Bowen (24%, 2363 runners) — the strongest connections in the race by some margin — and has shortened 12% in the market, suggesting professional confidence despite GoingFit:~ and MarkMv:+8 concerns.
