Mr Fox says

Addison Grey (SR:101, 9/2) is the only runner in this 12-horse Class 2 handicap combining a competitive SR with confirmed course, distance, and going credentials — Course:W1P2, DistFit:+, GoingFit:+ is a rare triple alignment at Newmarket on good ground. The 9-6 weight is lighter than top-weight Arctic Dawn (9-11) and Addison Grey's recent win in the form string (form:253914, rightmost = win last time out) confirms peak form. The slight market drift of 7% is the one concern, but Clive Cox (17% strike rate, 1083 runners) with Rossa Ryan (18%, 2888 runners) is a strong professional pairing that consistently performs at this level, and the drift may simply reflect punters chasing the steamer in Arctic Dawn rather than a genuine negative signal. Each-way alternative: Arctic Dawn. Main danger: Arctic Dawn — Arctic Dawn (SR:98, 5/1) has steamed in 17% in the market — the most significant move in the field — carries top-weight of 9-11 but Billy Loughnane (18% strike rate) and Kubler yard (17%) represent strong professional confidence, and a last-time-out form figure of 8 followed by a sharp market move suggests a significant improvement is anticipated.
