Mr Fox says

Cooley's Mist (SR:78, 3/1) combines the second-highest SR in the field with the strongest distance profile — DistFit:+ is the only confirmed stayer in a 1m4f handicap, a crucial edge. The market has shortened 19% since opening, the most aggressive move in the field, suggesting informed confidence. Chris Hayes (10% career SR, 1,681 rides — the most experienced jockey booking here) adds polish. The MarkMv:+8 is a mild concern but GoingFit:~ on good ground and a recent run just 11 days ago signal peak fitness, and the light weight of 9-3 is favourable against heavier rivals. Each-way alternative: Camino Lad. Main danger: Camino Lad — Camino Lad (SR:89, 6/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field with a solid recent form line of 32412 and trainer G.M. Lyons at 16% strike rate, and though the 17% market drift and DistFit:? tag introduce doubt, a horse of this ability can overcome an unproven trip if the form carries forward.
