Mr Fox says

Buckland Belle (SR:80, 13/8) is the standout performer in this field by a clear margin — the next-best SR is 71 (Rating), and she carries only 9-8 despite that superiority. Her form reads 213212, showing relentless consistency, and critically she ticks every key box: DistFit:+ confirms she handles this mile trip, GoingFit:+ confirms she handles good to firm, and Course:W1P1 shows she already knows Bath. Running off MarkMv:+3 is a minor concern but her SR comfortably absorbs it. Tom Marquand (16% career SR) is the highest-profile jockey booking in the race, and Ollie Sangster at 14% strike rate is a yard in solid form. The 13/8 price is short but structurally justified — no comparable rival can match the combination of ability, proven course-and-distance suitability, and trainer-jockey quality. Each-way alternative: Rating. Main danger: Chilly Breeze — Chilly Breeze's 56% market move is the loudest stable-money signal in the race, De Sousa is a top-tier booking, and a drop in class (↓1) could unlock the form — if the DistFit:- proves misleading, she is the most dangerous price in the field at 13/2.
