Mr Fox says

Inkberrow (SR 160, 2/5) is in a different class to every other runner in this field — the next-best SR is 124, a 36-point gap that is enormous on the 0-200 scale. The Crisford yard operates at a 19% strike rate from 1,138 runners, denoting a powerful and disciplined operation, while Harry Davies (13%, 1,273 runners) is a capable booking. The market has shortened 12% since opening, confirming stable confidence, and the sole prior visit to Wolverhampton produced a place, showing the horse handles the track. With all rivals carrying either badly negative distance/going fit, prohibitively weak SR, or heavy market drift, this is a straightforward assignment at a short price that is entirely justified by the data. Each-way alternative: Lahan Kingman. Main danger: Lahan Kingman — Lahan Kingman (SR 79, 4/1) is first-time blinkers, has course form (W0P1), moderate distance fit (~), a shortening market (in7%), and the Richard Hughes/Billy Loughnane combination both operating at double-digit strike rates — if Inkberrow underperforms on the AW, this is the most likely beneficiary.
