Mr Fox says

Central Command (SR 166, 4/5) is the highest-rated runner in the field by 6 points over Barbury Boy, carries the same weight as all rivals (11-0, so no weight disadvantage), and is proven on Good going (GoingFit:+) — a specific edge over Barbury Boy who is only moderate on this surface (GoingFit:~). The market has shortened 9% since opening, confirming professional confidence behind Jamie Snowden's 26% strike-rate yard and Gavin Sheehan who hits at 23% career — both among the strongest connections in the field. The only concern is 127 days since last run, but Snowden's yard is well capable of having a horse ready off a break, and the market move suggests they are happy with this runner today. Each-way alternative: Pantile's Gift. Main danger: Barbury Boy — Barbury Boy (SR 160, 5/2) has Alan King's consistent 16% strike rate behind him and Tom Cannon in the saddle, and despite drifting 22% in the market, the SR gap to Central Command is only 6 points — if Central Command is not at peak fitness after 127 days, Barbury Boy is capable enough to capitalise.
