Mr Fox says

Rodeo Blues (SR 75, 3/1) is the highest-rated runner in the field and arrives on a sharp recent form line of 046115 — three consecutive placings or wins culminating in a win last time out, just 16 days ago, suggesting peak condition. JPO'Brien's yard operates at a 16% strike rate from 1,560 runners, the strongest training operation in this field, and the light weight of 10-1 is an asset in what is a competitive 8-runner rated race. The MarkMv:+10 is a concern — running off a mark 10lb higher than the last win — but in the context of the SR gap (75 versus 72 for the next-best Maxminelli, and 68-69 for the midfield), and the recent winning form, Rodeo Blues retains enough class headroom to absorb it. Each-way alternative: A Pretty Penny. Main danger: A Pretty Penny — A Pretty Penny (SR 69, 7/1) has steamed in 27% in the market — the sharpest move in the field — carries a favourable low weight of 9-7, shows course form (W0P1 at Tramore), and the consistent 551542 form line suggests a horse that finds a way to be involved; the market money here is hard to ignore.
