Mr Fox says

Modern Times (SR:87, 11/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin over Mr Dreamseller (SR:83) and That's Random (SR:80), and carries a manageable 9-8. The market has firmed 8% and the trainer James Owen runs at 19% strike rate from 2,375 runners — a serious operation. Course:W1P1 at Southwell confirms the track suits, and while GoingFit:~ is not ideal, it is not a negative flag. Running off a mark just 1lb higher than last win (MarkMv:+1) means the handicapper has barely moved against him, and the form figure '5' last time out is the rightmost digit — that run being a fifth after back-to-back wins (1-1 in the middle of the string) suggests a brief blip rather than a decline. Each-way alternative: Mr Dreamseller. Main danger: That's Random — That's Random (SR:80, 6/4) is the market favourite with a 20% steam in and carries the lightest competitive weight at 9-0, giving it a 8lb pull on Modern Times — if its GoingFit:? resolves positively on today's good surface it has the class and market confidence to win.
