🥉 3RD

Mr Fox says

An Bradan Feasa (SR 81, 3/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has steamed in 26% in the market — the most significant move of any runner — suggesting informed confidence. The form string 22224 shows consistent placed form and a drop in class (↓1) gives a real competitive edge over this Class 5 field. Crucially, both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm this horse is proven at 2m1f on good ground, the two most specific fit-checks in the data. The 10-2 weight is manageable given the SR superiority and class drop. Each-way alternative: Digger One. Main danger: Digger One — Digger One (SR 74, 15/8) is the market favourite and although it has drifted 21%, recent form 94811 includes two consecutive wins and it is the youngest horse in the field at age 5 with obvious scope — if the DistFit:? at this longer trip is no issue, it has the ability to win.
