Mr Fox says

Selection (SR:78, 7/2) is the field's highest-rated runner by a clear margin and has steamed in 25% in the market — the most significant move in the race — signalling strong stable/market confidence. The Course:W1P2 record at Pontefract is a meaningful positive on a track that rewards specialists, and David Nolan (12% career SR) is a competent booking. The main concern is DistFit:- at 1m6y, but the GoingFit:~ on good ground is manageable, and the market support strongly suggests connections believe the trip is within reach. At 7/2 in a Class 5 handicap with the SR advantage, the case is compelling despite the distance query. Each-way alternative: Always Blue. Main danger: Mount King — Mount King (SR:68, 11/2) has steamed in 49% — the second-biggest move in the race — carries only 9-1, holds Course:W4P5 (the best course record in the field), and drops three class tiers, though the GoingFit:- and DistFit:- are genuine flags against it.
