Mr Fox says

Stepdance (SR 54, 5/2) is the standout on multiple converging signals. Proven at today's distance and going (DistFit:+ GoingFit:+) — the only runner in the field with both boxes ticked — and the form string 111-90 shows three consecutive wins before a brief dip, suggesting a horse capable of stringing wins together. The market has moved sharply in its favour (Mkt:in14%), meaning informed money is arriving, and Henry De Bromhead's 14% strike rate from over 1,000 runners is the strongest training operation in the field. The +2 mark rise is negligible given the distance and going suitability advantage. Running off 10-4, the weight is manageable given the SR edge and DistFit/GoingFit superiority over the rest. Each-way alternative: Duleek Street. Main danger: Limestone Red — Limestone Red carries the field's highest SR at 58 and has the lightest competitive weight at 9-6, and despite the going concern and market drift, the raw ability advantage could assert over 1m4f if the ground rides on the better end of good.
