Mr Fox says

Mimime (SR:58, 10/3) is the most compelling package in this modest Class 6 field. GoingFit:+ is a standout signal — the only horse in the field proven on good ground — and the recent form string 087322 shows a clear upward trajectory culminating in back-to-back placed efforts. Carrying just 8-6, she gets a significant weight advantage over the top-weight Protest Rally (9-12) and Let's Go Hugo (9-9), and at only 9 days since her last run she arrives in peak freshness under a 13%-strike-rate apprentice (Harry Vigors) who has shown good awareness of her capabilities. Course:W0P2 adds familiarity at Southwell AW, and the market at 10/3 is reasonably confident without the concerns that accompany Let's Go Hugo's 28% drift. Each-way alternative: Torfrida. Main danger: Let's Go Hugo — Let's Go Hugo (SR:68, the highest in the field) arrives on a hot recent sequence of 341121 at the same class, and despite the 28% market drift — which likely reflects the +3lb mark penalty — his raw SR superiority of 10 points over the field cannot be dismissed if the weight and trip suit on the day.
