Mr Fox says

Circus Hill (SR:163, 1/4) is in a class of her own in this field — her SR of 163 is 13 points clear of the next-best Sea Feliz (SR:150) and 36+ points ahead of everyone else. In a Sligo mares maiden worth €7,200, that SR gap is decisive. The GoingFit:~ on good ground is the only mild concern, but a horse of this calibre handles most conditions. Phillip Enright (7%, 621 career runners) is a reliable booking and the 58-day return from a form string including a '2' and '4' suggests a horse that has been competitive at a higher level. At 1/4, the market is simply pricing the class advantage correctly. Each-way alternative: Sea Feliz. Main danger: Sea Feliz — Sea Feliz (SR:150, 4/1) carries the Mullins yard's 21% strike rate and Danny Mullins in the saddle — a debut run returning '0' from that yard often signals more to come, and if Circus Hill has any fitness or jumping issue on return from 58 days off, Sea Feliz has the class to capitalise.
