Mr Fox says

Start Again (SR:111, 4/5) holds a 20-point SR advantage over In The Trenches (SR:91) — a decisive edge in a two-horse race at this level. The 6lb weight pull in favour of Start Again (11-2 vs 11-8) compounds that ability gap rather than offsetting it, meaning Start Again is both the better horse and the lighter burden. DistFit:+ confirms proven competence at this trip, and a market move of in6% alongside a form line showing a win last time out (Form:3-P651, rightmost digit = 1) indicates yard confidence at just 8 days' turnaround under Fergal O'Brien. In The Trenches has drifted 10% (Mkt:out10%), carries top-weight at 11-8, and a MarkMv:+3 means it runs off a higher mark than at its last win, adding further pressure to a moderate SR of 91. Each-way alternative: Start Again. Main danger: In The Trenches — In a two-horse race any ground or jumping incident could hand it the race by default, and a GoingFit:? for both runners means conditions are unproven for Start Again too.
