Mr Fox says

Flash Kozo (SR:87, 9/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and carries a featherweight 9-2, giving him a meaningful pounds advantage over According To Mark and Parisian Scholar who carry 9-10 and 9-12 respectively despite inferior or similar SR scores. His form reads 305122 — two consecutive wins capped by a runner-up last time, suggesting he is in peak condition and firing consistently. The market has shortened 10% since opening, indicating professional money is backing him, and at the same class as his recent wins (ClassMv:=) he faces no step up in grade. His going fitness is moderate (GoingFit:~) on good ground but the weight advantage and peak form trajectory override that concern on this flat, wide-open Redcar card. Each-way alternative: Parisian Scholar. Main danger: Pace Attack — Pace Attack (SR:82, 7/2) is the market favourite, trained by Sir Mark Prescott whose 19% career strike rate is the best in the field, and Prescott's operation rarely runs without intent — despite the 11% market drift, his handler's placement record and the tongue-tie addition make him a legitimate threat to steal this at the trip.
