Mr Fox says

Oppenheimer (SR:58, 3/1) leads the field on SR alongside Gilts and has attracted a significant 25% market inward move — the sharpest steaming in the race — which is a strong signal that connections and the market believe the 95-day absence has been used productively. Colin Keane's booking (16% career strike rate from 1003 runners) is a clear upgrade over the field and strongly suggests Kevin Thomas Coleman regards this as his yard's #1 runner rather than Kingcharles, who has drifted 23%. The DistFit:- flag is a concern at 7f, but with a GoingFit:? leaving the going question open and the mark coming off a largely fruitless campaign (form 087-07), the handicapper may have given this horse a retrievable opportunity. The weight of 10-2 is manageable given the SR edge, and the Keane/market combination in a €6k 7f handicap is too loud to ignore. Each-way alternative: Gilts. Main danger: Gilts — Gilts (SR:58, 9/2) matches Oppenheimer's SR, carries 2lb less at 10-0, has a confirmed DistFit:+ at 7f which Oppenheimer lacks, and trainer Richard Brabazon runs a small but sharp yard (14% strike rate from only 22 runners), though the 20% market drift and apprentice booking temper enthusiasm.
