Mr Fox says

Cornmarket (SR 97, 15/2, Wgt:11-4) is the only runner in this field with confirmed course form (W0P1 at Sligo), proven distance fitness (DistFit:+), and a positive going record (GoingFit:+) — three specific situational advantages no rival can match. The form figure of '20' recently shows a latest-run placing (2nd) followed by a 0, but reading right-to-left the last run was a 0 and prior was a 2nd, suggesting a bounce-back is plausible; the mark has risen 11lb since last win but the weight at 11-4 is light relative to top-weights Jupiter Du Gite (11-12) and Littlebiggie (11-11), giving a meaningful pounds advantage against the SR leader. Thomas O'Connor (7lb claimer, 9% strike rate from 70 rides) is an acceptable booking and the yard of John J Cullen is competent at this level. With every other shortlisted rival showing GoingFit:- on today's Good ground, Cornmarket's confirmed good-ground suitability is a decisive differentiator. Each-way alternative: Jupiter Du Gite. Main danger: Jupiter Du Gite — Jupiter Du Gite (SR 103, the joint-highest in the field, 3/1 market leader) carries top-weight of 11-12 and has drifted 7% which is a mild concern, but the SR advantage over Cornmarket is real and a return to form after 154 days off — with headgear retained — could see the ability translate despite the weight burden.
