Mr Fox says

Portman Blue (SR:63, 5/2) is the highest-rated runner in this Class 6 field and has steamed in 54% from its opening price — the most significant market move in the race, indicating strong professional support. David Egan takes the ride, a clear booking upgrade in this context. The weight of 9-9 is manageable at this level given the SR edge over rivals, and despite a DistFit:- at 7f, the market confidence is the overriding signal — connections are backing this horse to handle the trip today. The form string of 866677 is uninspiring in isolation, but the class level has been consistent and the money arriving late suggests a material improvement is expected, likely underpinned by the tongue-tie headgear change working in the horse's favour. Each-way alternative: Virtue Patience. Main danger: Ararat — Ararat (SR:60, 5/1) has steamed in 52% and carries a MarkMv:-17, meaning it is running from a mark 17lb below its last win — the biggest handicap concession in the field — giving Jack Mitchell (16% strike rate) an excellent opportunity to exploit that lowered mark despite the GoingFit:- concern.
