Mr Fox says

Bossing It (SR:85, 10/3) holds the second-highest SR in the field and carries 11-9 — a full 5lb below top-weight Presenting Lad (SR:88, 12-0), which is a material weight concession in a 1m7f140y chase on Good ground. Trainer David M O'Brien runs from a small string but has a 15% strike rate from 27 runners — the best among all yards represented here — and Sean Flanagan is an experienced booking. The form string P0-258 shows the horse finishing 8th, 5th, 2nd in three consecutive runs, a clear upward progression that points to a horse finding its feet in handicap company. The absence of negative distance or going flags (both listed as ?) means there's no confirmed concern over today's conditions, whereas the market leader Presenting Lad has drifted 9% and carries a confirmed poor distance record (DistFit:-). Each-way alternative: Ballinaboola Gold. Main danger: Ballinaboola Gold — Ballinaboola Gold (SR:74, 4/1) is trained by a yard booking Danny Mullins — a jockey with a strong 13% career strike rate from 302 runners — carries a featherweight 10-3, and at 4/1 is the market's second choice, suggesting punter confidence despite the poor going and distance flags.
