Mr Fox says

Ricardo Phillips (SR:70, 11/2) is the clear SR leader in a field where nobody else exceeds 67, and his 3-star AI probability is matched only by New Objective and Ataturk. Critically, he has been backed in significantly (Mkt:in25%) — the strongest inbound market move in the field — and brings genuine course form (Course:W2P5), two wins and five places at Leicester, which matters on a track with pronounced home-straight undulations. His form string -32135 shows consistent placement and a recent win, and he runs at the same class (ClassMv:=) off a mark only 2lb above his last win (MarkMv:+2), which is manageable. Henry Candy's 12% strike rate from 332 runners is solid for this level, and Nicola Currie retains the ride. Each-way alternative: New Objective. Main danger: Grindleton — Grindleton (SR:67, 13/2) has a moderate positive GoingFit on today's going bucket — the only runner beside Little Tiger with any confirmed ground affinity — and his consistent form string 428242 shows he is never far away in similar company at this class.
