Mr Fox says

Lady Plimsoll (SR 74, 9/4) is the clear class leader in this field by SR, carrying 10-0 but enjoying a significant ability edge over the next-best Chicago Moon (SR 71) and Espritroyale (SR 68). The decisive signal is a 20% market move inward — serious money has arrived in the last few hours despite the modest prize and apprentice context. Form of 62-332 is consistent for the level, and O'Callaghan's yard at 10% strike rate is respectable. The GoingFit:- flag is a genuine concern, but no rival has a confirmed positive going record either — most show '-' or '?' — so this negates the disadvantage across the field. The 3-day turnaround is tight but trainers rarely run horses back so quickly at a small meeting unless confidence is high. Each-way alternative: Chicago Moon. Main danger: Chicago Moon — Chicago Moon (SR 71, 3/1) has a course record of W1P1 at Killarney, the only runner with proven course form, carries a feather 9-1, and De Bromhead's top apprentice booking on the yard's #1 runner makes this a genuine alternative if the course specialist edge matters over a stayer's trip.
