Mr Fox says

The Thames Boatman (SR:78, 6/1, Wgt:9-11) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has been backed in dramatically from 6/1 opening to a 43% market move — the strongest steamers signal in the race by a wide margin. Dropping two class tiers (ClassMv:↓2) with a mark 2lb below his last win (MarkMv:-2) means he is meeting easier opposition at a more comfortable weight, and the cheekpieces (HG:p) suggest connections are targeting this specifically. His form string 145220 shows consistency without a blowout run, and at Bath where he holds course place form (Course:W0P2), connections clearly believe conditions are right today. Each-way alternative: Legendsoftheland. Main danger: Distant Rumble — Distant Rumble (SR:75, 4/1, Wgt:10-0) is joint-top on SR despite carrying top weight, holds two places at Bath (Course:W0P2), and though the 23% drift is a concern, his last run was only 15 days ago suggesting he is fit and ready to go.
