Mr Fox says

Night In Vegas (SR:109, 4/7) is in a different ability bracket to every other runner in this field — the next-best SR is Zigazig Ah at 93, a 16-point gap that is substantial at 2yo level. The form string 115311 shows consistent winning over this exact trip (DistFit:+), and the market has continued to shorten (Mkt:in8%), confirming professional confidence. Eve Johnson Houghton runs at a 13% strike rate from 1,339 runners — a solid, well-managed yard — and with 23 days since last run the horse is fresh without being ring-rusty. The weight of 9-5 is manageable given the SR superiority, and ClassMv:= means no step up in grade to worry about. Each-way alternative: Zigazig Ah. Main danger: Zigazig Ah — Zigazig Ah (SR:93, 7/2) has steamed in 21% in the market, holds a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good-to-firm ground, DistFit:+ over 7f, and runs from a featherweight 8-8 — a real pounds-in-hand advantage that could partially offset the SR gap if Night In Vegas underperforms.
