Mr Fox says

Wid (SR 97, 2/1) is the top-rated horse in this field by a clear margin and has been backed in 14% since opening — the only horse showing meaningful market support. Her recent form of 7-2142 shows a win last time out and consistent placed efforts, and she arrives on a fresh 14-day turnaround suggesting connections are targeting this. She carries a manageable 9-9 and the GoingFit:~ on good ground is the one mild caveat, but the SR advantage over the next-best (The Third Star at SR 91) and the market confidence make her the standout pick. Each-way alternative: The Third Star. Main danger: The Third Star — The Third Star (SR 91, 11/4) is the market's second choice, boasts an outstanding course record of W2P2 at Southwell and is proven at the trip and on this going (DistFit:+, GoingFit:+), giving her a significant course-specialist edge that could overcome the 6lb rise in mark.
