Mr Fox says

Midnight's Dream (SR 66, 15/8) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and has been backed significantly — shortening 14% in the market, the strongest directional move among genuine contenders. The MarkMv:-17 is the standout handicapper's signal: running off a mark 17lb below its last win, which in a Class 6 apprentice handicap is a significant advantage. The 9-9 weight is manageable and trainer Joseph Parr at 11% with jockey Jack Nicholls booking is a workmanlike combination. The DistFit:- is a concern at this 7f36y trip, but the market money is being placed with conviction and the SR edge over the field is decisive. Each-way alternative: Create. Main danger: Create — Create (SR 62, 6/1) has steamed in 49% from its opening price — by far the biggest move in the race — and shares the same SR as Cuban Fiesta while carrying 6lb less than Midnight's Dream, giving it a genuine weight advantage if its recent third on a similar mark translates here.
