Mr Fox says

Simmering Seas (SR:61, 6/4) shares the field's joint-highest SR alongside Tawaazon and Dandy Land but carries the lightest weight of those three at 9-8, a meaningful edge in a 19-runner sprint handicap. The market has backed it in 20% since opening, confirming confidence from connections, and Daniel James Murphy's stable runs at a solid 11% strike rate. The form string 07-602 shows a recent runner-up finish and the horse is only 9 days since last run, suggesting a horse in a racing routine and ready to go. The main concern is DistFit:- and GoingFit:-, meaning proven struggles at this trip and on good ground — but the SR lead, weight advantage over rivals, and strong market drift inward make it the most defensible selection in a wide-open field. Each-way alternative: Tawaazon. Main danger: Tawaazon — Tawaazon (SR:61, 4/1) matches Simmering Seas on SR, has steamed in 41% in the market — the strongest inbound move in the field — and carries only 1lb more at 9-13, with course form (W0P1) at Naas that Simmering Seas lacks, though the DistFit:- and GoingFit:- tags are a genuine concern.
