Mr Fox says

Kaindy (SR:96, 10/11) is the clear SR leader in this field by a margin of 7 points over Revelance (SR:89) and carries a manageable 9-11, not the top weight. Roger Varian's yard operates at 20% strike rate and has booked Ray Dawson; the market has shortened 5% since opening, confirming stable confidence. The form string 72-312 shows a consistent progressive profile — finishing second last time out at the same class — and while DistFit and GoingFit are both marked '?' (limited sample), good ground on a flat mile is an entirely standard test for a lightly-raced 3yo improver from this yard. The SR advantage is decisive: no other runner combines top ability with this weight and market trajectory. Each-way alternative: Revelance. Main danger: Revelance — Revelance (SR:89, 7/2) has steamed in 29% with James Doyle booked for a Ralph Beckett yard running at 19%, drops two class levels, and at 7/2 the market implies genuine confidence that a horse of this ability can dominate at Class 4.
