Mr Fox says

Showcasing Glory (SR 85, 8/11) is the market's strong favourite and, uniquely in this field, has actual racecourse experience to draw on — a form line of 7-1 showing improvement to a win last time. While the SR of 85 looks modest against the debutants rated 143-146, those figures are assigned to horses with zero racecourse form, meaning the SR gap carries significant uncertainty. The favourite carries 9-11 (7lb more than most rivals) but on an AW surface over 7f against a field of largely unraced animals, the edge of proven form and market conviction — held at 8/11 with no drift — outweighs the weight disadvantage. Billy Loughnane (18%, 3,139 runners) is a high-quality booking for Charlie Johnston (13%, 2,562 runners), and the combination of confirmed winning form at the same class, stable confidence and jockey quality makes this a straightforward call in a race where most rivals are stepping into the unknown. Each-way alternative: Radical Bay. Main danger: Boy Basilica — Boy Basilica (SR 146, 13/2) has the joint-highest SR in the field and, while drifting slightly (Mkt:out13%), Richard Hughes's yard operates at a solid 15% strike rate — if this debut runner has shown anything at home, a big run first time out is entirely plausible.
