Mr Fox says

Flashy Boy (SR 95, 11/10) is the clear class leader in this four-runner field, carrying a 12-point SR advantage over the next best. His form string 453123 shows consistent competitiveness and he is proven at today's distance (DistFit:+), the only runner with confirmed fitness at 3m2f59y. Dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) also aids his case despite running off a mark 12lb higher than his last win — in a field of four at Class 5, that class drop matters more than the mark rise. The 13% market drift is the main concern and prevents full confidence, but with GoingFit:~ on good ground and the trainer operating at a solid 20% strike rate, the on-paper case remains strong enough to commit. Each-way alternative: Henry Box Brown. Main danger: Swingforthefence — A 31% market move in at 4/1 with trainer Jennie Candlish's yard booking a change of jockey suggests stable confidence, and if the GoingFit:- flag underestimates adaptability on good ground, the SR gap could be bridged.
